V-Belt Tension Gauge

[super90]

Has anyone used this type of tension gauge before, and specifically on the FZJ ? Will it fit in there to test the belt tension?
It's listed as a Krikit v-belt tension gauge.

Napa has them for about $15.

Planning to change belts and tensioners and wanted to tighten the belts as accurately as we can.

Save your money and use your finger...seriously.

Your belts should have about a 1/2" to 3/4" deflection in the middle between the pulleys. Just press down with some reasonable finger force to check the deflection.
