You literally have to put a prybar under it and prey it up and out. It is seated very tightly. To put mine back in I used a hammer and a wooden stick to tap it back in place and line the holes back up so i could mount it. I did the same with the AC
this is great... how do u losen up the belt? also is there a way for me to check to see if the if its bad while its on the truck... dont really want to take it off and it be fine...
The belt cannot be losen-ed other than removing the tensioner. I guess you could use a breaker bar and with the engine running pry the tensioner up to loosen it but you would have to be careful.
I gotcha, like I said, with the engine running you would need a long breaker bar to fit into the tensioner to release tension while the engine it running. Just be careful not to make contact with the pulleys, belt or clutch fan if you have it there.
