How to release tension with a Thumprrr
Hey guys, I have relapsed into retardation and can't figure out how to release my serpentine belt tension. I have a Thumprrr and cant figure it out opposed to the stock tensioner. Please help the belt squeel is driving my crazy!

Its the same as any other tensioner. 1/2 drive ratchet/breaker bar in the female square at the end as pictured.

I have the Thump and I use a LONG breaker bar. Push the tensioner clockwise and it should be a breeze. No more effort needed than for my old stock tensioner.
