When I have take the belt off or on it is pain. I can't get a ratchet or a breaker on the tensioner there simply is not enough room between the mounting bracket and the tensioner. Is this a problem for anyone else. Any help would be cool.

i don't have any problems. i use a rachet without a socket (3/8" i think) and plug it into the square hole in the tensioner bracket. push down on the rachet and it should be a cinche.
