I was told I could install a tensioner (same as alt. tensioner) and use a longer belt. This setup comes stock on later year N62s and makes belt replacing easier. I'll check the other forum for more information.

I was told the belt is CONTITECH part number 4pk860 - Same tensioner as alt.

Hate to stir up an ancient thread, but a big shout out to healthservices for his makeshift tool idea. It took me a few tries to get it right, but once that belt started walking on, it was all downhill.
