Put a longer pipe over the ratchet, it'll give you more leverage

Its a small 10mm bolt that holds the tensioner on. With the belt off it is hard to fit anything in there because you have to pull it back withn your hand first then wedge something in there. I just changed my alternator today and the logest part was putting that Fing belt back on.

? do you gen 1 guys have some weird tensioner?
just stick a 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar in the square hole and push... use the other hand to push the belt out of the way

Exactly, this is the easiest thing you can do on the Mark.

yeah, after i figgured it out, i was surprised at how easy it was...sure a hell of a lot easier to do a serp belt than multi belts (boo to you chevy monte carlo!)
