It’ll slide right off. No tools required.
the belt will just slide off? what pulley do you have? ik i can get it to slide off, but with the tensioner pulley bolt stripped, i'm really concerned about getting the belt back on. i have tried the methods stated and they just loosen my tensioner pulley for some odd reason. the 185 is huge and it takes serious cranking on the tensioner to get the stock belt back on
