I found details of a guy (from the internet) who uses allen keys to set the correct tension on timing belts. Having removed all covers; He writes, "While holding the slack out of the belt, the next step is to insert your 5mm allen wrench between the belt and the fixed roller. It should feel like a feeler gauge does- SLIGHTLY snug."
Note: This is described as general maintenence for dukes. Additionally, its recommend a 6mm allen for the vertical cylinder. (As heat expansion calls for extra slack).
Can we use this method for our Pasos? :confused:
I think this could be a great tip for amateur engineers (like me.)
If anyone is interested in this method: I would recommend visiting the sight first (as other essential details are noted).

It’s a great site, and gives detailed articles with pics for maintenance on every level. From easy (1 tick) to difficult (5 ticks).
