Could anyone point me toward a source for the Timing Belt Tensioner
Adjusting Tool (spanner)?  I've replaced the timing belt on my Diesel Westy
and I'm having trouble getting the proper tension on the belt.  I think
I've got the procedure right (thanks Loren B.)  I've tried using a set of
snap-ring pliers, but I'm finding it hard to keep pressure on the pliers,
keep the tensioner in the right spot and tighten the nut all at the same
time.  Thanks for any help.
