Not Cheap, but Pully Boys has a Tool that makes belt changes an Easy one man job.
It's $75.00 bucks plus shipping but it makes changing the belt a breeze.
It was worth it for me, i'll be swapping belts in and out once he supercharger is installed.
If Snap On had them they would cost the same or most likely more.
When I was a body and fender man the Snap On man Loved me.
But then again when you make your living using Tools, have the right tool for the job it's a Must.

No one helped me when I did mine and it really wasn't a difficult or time consuming job. You might want that tool if you're a mechanic for a living but for the average person it's not necessary.

Since I am installing a Cobalt SS/SC supercharger it works with a superchargers setup. When I posted I forgot they were different setups/brackets.
I bought the tool so I can easily install the belt myself, and can make supercharger pully swaps a breeze in the future.
Got excited when the tool arrived totally forgetting about the difference in setups.

I used the cheap Harbor Freight tool, #66344. I paid under 15 bucks for it and it worked just fine. The only modification I had to make to it was cutting it down to about 13". I probably mentioned that already somewhere earlier in this thread.
