If you can get the 5PK790 belt. It's a much tigher fit that will reduce slippage. To change it you will need a wrench to loosen the tensioner bolt, a pair of vice grips to hold the tensioner in place (clamp them on at the pivot lug) as you will need to remove the tensioner bolt.

Apply tension to the tensioner using a small pry bar - this will push the tensioner forward enough for you to get the bolt in place then apply as much tension as you can and then tighten the bolt.

You can get the 5PK790 from Camskill or Wood Auto.

If you don't have a good pry bar get these from B&Q.

Only a tenner and the top one makes the job for tensioning the belt very easy to do.
