um.... do not overtighten the nut in the middle of the pulleys.

take a ruler and measure the belt slack and compare to a haynes or FSM.

uhh... use a 10mm socket on the tightening rods.

yeah... word

a friend helps, i've done it with only myself and with a friend, but first thing to do is go get your hands on a haynes, chiltons, FSM, or something of the like, it tells you how to do it step by step, makes it real easy man.
