It shouldn't be THAT tight. I regularly change my belts at the dragstrip,
and do it with a box wrench that can't be more than 7 inches long.
Try pushing on the belt in the area between the A/C and PS, you should see
the tensioner move.
Hold on a sec, are you trying to lefty-loosy the bolt? If so, WRONG. go
clockwise on the bolt in the center of the tensioner, and the whole adjustor
will swing up and to the right.
