I just received my UR crank pulley yesterday and will be installing it either today or tomorrow. The only tool I don't have is a tension gauge to put the proper tension back into the new belts. I've tried a few auto part stores and they don't carry them. Does anyone know where I can find one? How did you guys install yours? Did you just tighten it until it felt right by hand. I'll probabaly install it even without having a tension gauge but I would like to go back later and make sure I have the belts tensioned according to spec.

thx

 

The last time I played with a belt tensioner I tested tension by measuring play on the longest part of the belt to a few milimeters, per the service manual. There might be something like that in the service manual for the z if you have that.

 

by hand is fine..you want taught, but a bit of deflection allowed.

 

Just check visual deflection by with a perpindicular ruler.
