I agree i intalled it and it was easy besides the instructions being wrong. but you def feel it. i have a manual so i guess i notice it more. I recommend it more then any of their other products.

I got a question. Does the Tension pulley shift when you loosen it or does it come off? The directions are not clear. I started to install myself and then realized if it comes completely off I might not be able to get it back on myself.
Clarification is needed.

The pulley should shift positions (I think it's towards you if you're under the car) and the belt will loosen. If you're turning the bolt (unscrewing it), it will come off and that's wrong. You'll know the difference because it shifts a good amount.

Well my electric wrench was able to after a couple of impacts. But the instructions due suck. if you go clockwise the screw starts coming off. you have to go counter-clockwise and you massive stregnth and the tensioner will bend toward you which will let you pull the belt off.
rather simple but you might need a hand. i recommend you get a friend to do the tensioner part so you have your hands to put the belt back on

You say move it. I think you are really saying, push on it firmly is a Blank Direction to release tension of the belt. It should slide X amount which is enough to slip the belt off of the crank pulley.
Wouldn't you be able to SEE when the belt is loose enough to slip it off?
