        <title>Need tool for belt tensioner spring</title>
        <description> I was wondering if anyone knew about a tool for removing and reapplying belt tensioner springs.  Before anyone goes off with &quot;why are you doing this often enough that you need a tool?&quot;  Yes it&#039;s true, I don&#039;t this regularly on any one single printer.  I do freelance repair work. Some printers are repraps, some aren&#039;t.  Whenever I need to replace a belt, stepper or other component that requires disassembly that includes the removal of a belt tensioner spring, my finger tips get stabbed pretty good.  My apologies to any admins too if asking a question that may have applications to non-repraps is a breach of etiquette.

Thanks</description>
