I can reach the slotted bolt to loosen or remove it, but I can figure out how to reach the fixed bolt, which I’m guessing needs to be removed so the tensioner can slide down and allow the belt to be positioned.

The fixed bolt is facing straight down. There is so much other stuff in the way though, so I can’t reach it even with a very long extension and a universal joint. Even if I could, I’d never be able to get my hand in there to get the bolt back in place when I was done.

Is there some other way to get the belt on without removing or shifting the tensioner? Or am I missing some way to get access to the second bolt?


I think you are posting on another forum as well. Use a Dremel and cut a slit in the upside down bolt. That way you can use a flathead to turn its. With the fan out you have room just take it slow when cutting.
