Finally got around to installing the DMD today, and before I can even start, I cannot get the fricking belt off. There simply is not enough room to slip a driver or breaker bar into the slot on the tensioner to release belt tension. The frame of the car is in the way!!! I can barley slip my breaker bar between the frame and the tensioner with the drive side flat. I would have to have the drive side rotated 90 degrees to fit into the tensioner socket in order to insert it. WTF, FORD???? Has anyone else installed a DMD on or even changed a belt on a Duratech with an ATX? Do I have to pull the damn engine just to change the front accessory drive belt? This thing seems more and more every day to be built like a Chrysler!
