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.

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.
