I have heard some folks just use a small pry bay and tighten by lifting the alternator to a point the belt will twist 90 degrees. Then tighten the alternator bolt. Have not done this yet so all hear say. I am thinking about having this tool made. Not sure yet. The dealer quoted 65 buck for the install plus parts, don't think so.

Thanks,
looked, no triangle... 36k on belt and looks like it can do 36k more. hardly a crack.
