The good thing is it isn't like an item that destroys the engine without notice like the LS7 issue. You can wait past rattles until front bearing squeel but then it would involve more work and expense.
I have a solid coupler planning to do it like you said when I take out brick for reinforcment but haven't gotten around to them.
I agree with zme above I could't really be sure moving it by hand and would have needed a breaker bar to move it to be sure but didn't bother so IDK which I have either.

After reading this I want to make sure no one is interpreting that you use a breaker bar with a socket on the pulley to test… You use the breaker bar or the socket wrench to insert in the open slot on the tensioner and pull the tensioner back that releases the tension on the drive belt. With no tension on the belt you can wiggle the sc drive pulley to check..
