hello all, while replacing the alternator on my daughters 2005 Corolla, I apparently torqued too hard on the 19mm tensioner release nut (the cast on one) and now am unable to release tension and slide the belt over the alternator. I know I now need to replace the tensioner assembly, but have been out of work since January due to injury, just looking to see if anyone knows of a work around to get the belt back on until I can get a replacement tensioner. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
