Excellent video as always. Great camera, lighting, and top notch narration.
I have been watching your videos for quite some time now and I notice you have a small home made upholstery tool. It appears to be a standard screwdriver brazed to a small forked section of steel. I am interested in fabricating one of those little gems. Can you please tell me how you made it.
Thanks richpin, keep those excellent videos coming.

Appreciate your videos Rich. About a month ago I replaced the belt, tensioner, and idler pulley with your "help". My Saturn is a lot quieter under the hood now.
Thanks,
Jerry

Great job, this made changing the assembly a lot easier. Also, the video on displaying how to jack up the fragile Saturn body was very helpful.

You have no idea how this video helped me. It end up being the belt tensioner after all. I changed the belt and tensioner myself. Thanks a million!

@opinionatorX Ok Great! I did get that one. I just came back in from trying to put belt on. Should I take wheel Off? I think I got it on without using the tensioner? There is slack. Am I doing something wrong? Also my battery is dead right now. I think because its not using the alternator. Thanks!

Thanks for your quick reply! I am changing the belt on my exact model in this video on my own today. Another question. Do I get the belt with or with AC specs? I bought the one with AC. Thanks for the post!

@opinionatorX If yours is like the one in this video you want the one with AC

How would you know if the tensioner is bad?

@opinionatorX When the spring in the tensionor gets worn (weak)the tensioner will bounce up and down with the cycling of the motor more than normal..
