Getting the Belt off
Ok I did a search on here and on google but I can't really find anything. I'm trying to take the serpentine belt off so that I can do the tone ring mod. What I've done so far is put a socket on the tensioner bolt and tried turning it to the right to relieve the tension. All it did was tighten the bolt. Am I doing this wrong? Thanks for your help.

There is a toothed wheel right behind the harmonic balancer for the crank position sensor. You can turn the wheel clockwise to advance the injection timing. Do a search and there is a right up of how to do it.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Definitely no sockets are required to slacken the tensioner. You only need a 1/2" drive ratchet and maybe a pipe to extend the ratchet. Also, the belt does not need to come completely off, but only off the lower (crank) pulley and then the tone ring mod is easy to do.
