If you are following the SM procedure and remove the bolts to the tensioner pulley, it is no longer a factor in belt tension. That is what I did.
I know some have said that they were able to change the belt w/o removing the pulley (as you can do for rear wheel R&R), but I did not try it this way.
I see the attraction, though, since the idler bolts can be some work to get back in properly. |
