I tested changing the pulley to see what it would entail, loosen the bolts on pulley before a second person puts a breaker bar on the tensioner, de-tension via tensioner, remove bolts, remove pulley, put new pulley on, snug bolts, release tensioner, torque bolts.

Lol. Sorry, I guess I assumed taking the belt off the pulley would be common sense for removal of the pulley that is wrapped by the belt...

Haha you never know. You made it sound like the second person was to hold the tensioner that whole time lol.
