Thank you for the wonderful tutorial, and THE TOOL!!! Arrived promptly, and got the job done in 10mins. Incredibly well thought out tool.

One pliers wrench, one allen key after 20 minutes it's done. Super easy and for 8 € !!

For those wondering, the little black canister is the fuel tank breather vacuum valve.

Great video.

Good video - what's wrong with using a socket ratchet to turn the tensioner - there is a square cutout on it for that purpose?

Just so no one is misinformed when obtaining the poly belt, Its actually called a drive belt, not an alternator belt, since it drives more than just the alternator.

Just found another way to change a belt on an 05base cooper, there is a belt tension adjuster available in most auto parts stores that is a flat bar with a three eights inch square knob on it that does not ratchet. These are typically 12 to 16 inches long. It will fit in the square hole on the tensioner. The problem is you can’t put the bar in from the front of the engine and get the lift on tensioner to remove or install the belt.
