    Anybody have any tricks to putting tension on belts in a 98 Civic? The
    components (alternator) seems to "float" on a relatively 3 inch straight
    track, with a bolt to fasten the component in place, thus placing tension
    on the belt.

    Seems like their is about a 2 inch gap between the component and the engine
    block. Not sure if using a wrecking bar as a lever would work, as this gap
    seems too large for it.

    All advice cheerfully appreciated!

    I use a small crowbar usually.
