A bump to the top for a great product and a great person...
Dodge Runner has donated a bracket and belt to the Tyler Project...
I have this tensioner on my car, and absolutely love it. It resolved all of my belt squeal issues.
I highly recommend this high quality and easy to install product. This is what the Fiero 2.8 should have had from the factory.

I just have to chime in and say since I put this belt tensioner on my turbo 3.4 car I have not heard one belt squeak. Before I had the hardest time keeping the belt from wailing all the time.
Great product, well worth the money.

Just bought one of these Kits a few weeks ago when my alternator took a crap on me. Finally got around to installing the alternator and the belt tensioner kit the other night but could not complete the job because there was no way in hell that I could de-tension the tentioner. The "pocket" that the end of the wrench goes into is potitioned perfectly between the tensioner and the frame of the car. It is nearly imposible to get the wrench into the tentioner. Then if you are able to get the wrench in, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to move the tensioner because of the lack of space and the spring effort. I battled for at least an hour but failed.....I couldn't move the tensioner arm because I'm weak  . But when I added length to the wrench (more torque) by slipping some pipe over the end of the wrench, the pipe would hit the suspension arm and the tensioner wouldn't rotate/move enough.
I ended up having to go out and buy a pivoting head type socket wrench (also slightly longer than my normal socket wrench) in order to get more torque and clearence to be able to move the tensioner enough to slip the belt on. It worked! It's finally on now and seems to work great, but man what a PITA it was to complete that final step. Of course now that I have the right tool and the experience it will be much easier the next time I have to remove the belt. Plus I'm hoping the spring tension will loosen up a bit after use, making it easier to rotate the arm.

Not so.
If you took five minutes (or less) to drop the "skirt" an inch or so in the wheel well (or drilled/cut a hole through that soft material), you could've put a 3/8" extension right into the square tensioner hole with the ratchet positioned outside of the wheel well. Piece of cake.
