Brent,

Some do, some don't.... It is a tight job if you don't! I took mine out when I changed the belt and it was still a tight job for one person (seems like you need three hands to hold the belt when you release the tensioner).

What I did was use some small C-clamps to hold the belt on the "marks" after I got it lined up...

Also, since the transmission lines were disconnected, I put a tranny cooler in at the same time.

Good Luck,

Bill
