I apologize if this has been asked, but what is the easiest way to pull the belt? I have searched here, the Internet, watched videos, and read thread after thread, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the belt off. I have a 2013 Optima with the 2.4 and need to replace the idler pulley next to the alternator. How do I get this belt off?! Thanks in advance for your replies.
From research, most say the bolt on the tensioner is 17mm, but my bolt seems to be a 14mm? Additionally, I've borrowed a serpentine belt puller tool (no use), tried a breaker bar in conjunction with a 14mm open-ended wrench - no luck.
What am I doing wrong?
