Replacing belts - One Hex Bolt

[scirocco25 at gmail.com (Eric Person)]

That is one of my favorite bolts on the whole car:)  A long extension 
sometimes works so you can get the ratchet head away from all the 
brackets and junk by the compressor.  Ive done the box end wrench on the 
right-angle allen wrench thing too.  Just dont have anything to do for 
the next hour or so.
