I think they have automatic belt tensioners, you just need to use a socket or a spanner to lever it across and then just release it once you have the belt on and lined up

All you need is a 3/8 ratchet or strongarm bar to relieve the pressure on the belt. Slip the old one off and whip the new one on simple as. You can remove your thermos to if you want to make it easier. So going on your origianl post you cant really adjust the tension on your belt. It sounds like yours is pukered. Get a new belt :)
