WOW - thank you so much - I had no idea they were self adjusting. Kind of frustrates me that the official "Haynes" repair manual makes no mention of this what so ever - that explains why it is virtually impossible to do the way the manual describes. I will try this tonight when I get home.
Thank you so very much!

Hello, everyone - I am attempting to change a belt on my Roketa Bali 150. I have everything taken apart but cannot figure out how to get the tension right in the belt. Trust me - I have the right size belt. My Haynes repair manual says to gently ease the belt out of the clutch pulley to increase tension. Well - this is impossible with one person. It takes all of my strength just to compress the clutch pulley to slip the belt in. Once it's in the pulley it is too tight to slip around the drive shaft - is there a special tool to hold the clutch pulley open so I can get the right tension - like I said both hands are being used just to compress the pulley because it is so tight, so I have no way of easing the belt out to adjust the tension (no more hands). Any insight would be of great help and much appreciated. I am no mechanic and got this far on my own - it seems like the simplest thing - but it is impossible for me to do. Thank you and God Bless...
