I was wondering if anyone knew about a tool for removing and reapplying belt tensioner springs. Before anyone goes off with "why are you doing this often enough that you need a tool?" Yes it's true, I don't this regularly on any one single printer. I do freelance repair work. Some printers are repraps, some aren'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

I've never had to use one, but shouldn't pliers work fine? Just squeeze the ends together, insert/remove belt, then let go.
