wait... oh.. you mean just measure off a half-inch of the shaft of the screwdriver and push down with 20lb force... then if the screwdriver went further in than 1/2" than i knew the belt is too loose? but based on how i did it, i think i might have to tighten it anyways... and for me, that means removing the cover, because i don't have a hole in my lower plate and i dont want to make a blind guess at where it is and just start drilling holes in the cover.....
