Is there a secret size 6 point tamper proof torx/star bit that is in the center of the Idler pulley.
All the sizes I have are either too small or too big, what size is that.? I just want to take the tension off the belt, not remove the Idler Pulley.
Thanx....Gunny
That is not the way to take the tension from the belt. It will work but you stand a very good chance of ruining the socket and you will have a hard time to remove the pulley at a later date.
There is a thread here somewhere and I will look for it.
Here it is;
