Front Pulley R&R - can it be done without loosening belt tension?

[Rattlebars]

Rattlebars, all the best using the method you link to, I did not watch the video you linked, just my own experience knows only loosen the rear axle if absolutely required.

I suggest you watch the video and pay attention to the comments he makes. I stated the "other" method of loosening the belt tension as an alterative. Pulling the rear shock bolt after jacking the bike will loosen the belt sufficiently to just move it off the pulley without much effort at all.

If loosening the axle and adjuster works well for you, that is awesome. Since buying our Spyder in 2014, I have watched many of the videos regarding what you suggest. From experience of removing rear wheels and accomplishing other tasks without removing the rear wheel but removing the belt, I prefer the methods I use, but whatever you like is fine by me.
