I'll admit I had a bit of difficulty working out how to use this tool. Once I grasped the concept it went a bit smoother. That said, you'll need a little practice to work this out. You'll also need the specs for the vehicle and belt you're working on, but I do cover some general rules about belt deflection in the video. More info in the links below.
