It's been about a year and 800 miles since my belt was changed so I need a re-tension.

Perhaps a belt tensioning party is in order?

Hey Bill,

I'm in San Carlos.
I'll provide the pizza and beer for sure ...
but unfortunately the engine is on the floor; so it isnt so easy to move to Gilroy

If I can get my wife to unchain me from house arrest, we could have you host in San Carlos. When are you looking into doing this?

Depending on what day it is, I may Ibe in for the party as well, even if I only help out and observe. Just tell me what kind of beer I should bring...

I'm in Palo Alto

I wouldn't mind stopping by as well. I can bring some beer for ya'll.

Turbite- if the motor is on the floor, this may well be the easiest belt tensioning event ever!

Do you need a clutch alignment tool to borrow as well?

I can host at my house. No problem...

I've got a pepboys metric clutch alignment tool, don't know if it fits yet!

I'd prefer to do this this weekend or next.
What makes sense for you guys?

This sounds good.

Next weekend works better for me, but I can make it this weekend too.

Turbite,

For me it would have to be this Sunday from 12 noon on. If not, it would have to wait til at least the weekend of 1/29. My wife and I are in a tennis tournament the weekends of 1-15/16 and 1-22/23.
