just get something inbetween and pry it down, I use an old wood chisel to make a gap at the top and then switch to a screwdriver.
Quote:2. When I attempt to loosen the front pulley nut, how to do I keep it from just spinning?
I use a ratchet strap tie down from the frame around the outside of the tire back to the frame.
I found this works best.
Quote:3. to check that the front pulley is secure, do I just loosen it, then retorque it to specs? Is there something else I need to be checking?
yes, no.
Quote:4. When adjusting the belt tension on the back pulley, which way do I turn the adjuster screws to loosen/tighten the belt? I loosen the main axle nut, loosen the locknuts, then if I clockwise the screw (tighten) is it tightening the belt or loosening it?
try it you'll learn quickly
Quote:5. I dont have the belt tensioner tool that came with the bike, and am getting a generic one sent (10lb) what should the deviation be?
5A. Along those lines, I keep reading about the 90* test, but that seems kinda arbitrary, should it easily go 90* should it be a hard 90*
