special tool required, any way to bypass this?
Hey what sup guys/gals
My Odyssey is a 2006 non touring model, I'm trying to change the drive belt. Instead of a usual bolt to loosen up the tensioner it is a auto tensioner that has a special key hole (a hex key) that Honda says their special tool is required or a Snap on special tool. Is there another way to bypass this? I used a hex socket and it got in a little bit, but not enough to turn the auto tensioner. Anyone experienced with this? Chime in, your help would be highly appreciated.
