Who doesnʻt like buying tools.
Although I donʻt have this particular tool, I created one to do this task.
BTW, having this special tool whether bought or made helps on different model cars and trucks.
Removing a serp belt on an older Taurus or a Windstar needs this type of tool.
Once you take tension off the serp belt, the rest of the job should be a snap.
Just keep you hands clear from in between the belt and pulleys when replacing the belt.
