1:07 How did you "add extra tension" to the belt?

[@feedyourbrain2]

When I say that, I grabbed ahold of a cheater bar I have placed into the belt tensioner. I don't remember off hand but if we twist one direction it will release tension and the other it would add tension. I hope that explains it. If not, I think I can clarify.

This video might give you an idea how the belt tensioner works kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4m8eKauist5d7s

How many hours did this take?

[@feedyourbrain2]

I wanna say three but to be safe I'll stick with four hours. If you think about it, send a reply to this and let us know how long it took you. I'd appreciate it!
