I am going to replace the belt on our L26. What size wrench do I need for the tensioner?

Thanks

15mm.. Unless they changed it from the Series II to Series III (which is doubtful)

See I thought it was a 15mm....I went to AutoZone to get the Gatorback belt....Before I went I looked for a wrench to fit, unfortunately my new set goes from 14mm to 17mm...They gave me this goofy ass wrench that wouldn't work so I said screw it I'll just wait.


Thanks!

See if you can rent one of their 15mm sockets and a ratchet (preferably the 1/2 drive).

Coolant reservior? You move it :P

It's two 10mm holding it on. Once unscrewed simply pull up and set aside

Well I changed the belt after pulling the shit out of the tensioner....Causing a small wrinkle in the belt from the wrench...hopefully it won't affect anything!
