Now is when you apply the force with a pry tool of some kind until the idler pulley and the super tensioner pulley just about touch. While keeping tension on the pry tighten that 15mm bolt back up and you're done.
That's the problem I can't find a spot to leverage the pry bar, first attempt I bent my throttle body rim. I just can't believe I'm having such bad luck with this..Who knows maybe the belt is to small? Do you have number on your belt for me to check?
