Adj. Timing belt tension w/engine in car?
Just want to make sure this can be done with the engine in the car (2001 GSR). Any tips on how to do it like how to get to the bolts?
Thanks
Thanks

You can do it.
Use a 3/8" drive 14mm shallow socket.
May need a cheater bar (3/8" drive 19mm deep socket on a 9" extension) b/c it's pretty hard to break it loose the first time.
You shouldn't need to remove the PS belt or the driver-side upper mount. Altho, I can't really remember if it makes it easier or not to loosen the tensioner bolt. I end up always removing them to have room to work and get the crank pulley off.
