only two wheels. the proper socket and wrench was not that costly. and the tourque wrench works on everything. BTW the guage for properly adj the belt is cheap.

Go to HF, those sockets work fine.
As with all tools, use common sense.
Dont put a impact wrench on a socket not designed for one.
Dont stand on a 4ft cheater bar.

Two 12" Crescent Wrenches works fine for me. I tighten by hand which IMO is right at 100 ft. lbs. torque, LOL. Adjust belt so it has 3/8 - 7/16" play works fine also but not by the book so I'm sure some here won't approve. Some of this stuff isn't rocket science.
You posted what I was about to almost word for word!!!! I was laughing at what I was going to type and then read your post. WEIRD man....

Thanks everyone. I already have the belt tension tool. The idea of actually using the right tool has some merit, lol.
Still looking for a link to a DIY for the snail cam adjustment procedure.
