Lost the serpentine belt on my 94 GMC Suburban, 350 engine. Not sure why since everything seems OK and I am pretty sure I had my mechanic replace the belt sometime in recent memory. Anyway, not liking to spend cash for things I can do reasonably easily I went into the parts store purchased the belt, also compared it to what had been mounted for length. Long story short, what is the trick to getting the spring tensioner far enough out of the way to get the belt back on. Tried brute force with a breaker bar but can"t seem to find a fulcrum location that allows enough travel to get the belt back on. I always tell my kids that if something is too difficult, try to find an alternate approach or even a trick to accomplish the task (of course sometimes things are just difficult, but mechanical things very often have a trick). Trying to take my own advice here. So, does anybody have a method they can give me. Some other tensioners I have seen have a hole the size of a socket to be able to use a wrench, but I am not seeing anything like that on this one. The urgency is that I told my daughter we would trailer her horse tomorrow and this is the tow vehicle. Thanks, Kirk
