i changed my drive belt today…watched all the videos I could fInd first and read many a thread. I have a 2012 and the secondary said ‘rapid response’ on it and had no provision for a socket extension so I re-read some threads and re watched the videos and they all said to use brute force or split the sheaves( I would assume by removing the center bolt on the secondary). Well I used brute force and got it on there but when I got done I said ‘There must be an easier way!!!’ The center bolt on the secondary looked very tempting but I could see a spring behind the sheaves…is that the easy way?
