Serp belt replacement success

Hello Saabers and fellow shadetree mechanics,
I replaced my serp belt finally using my special tool I made for $2.00
(thanks Quasi site) I used a pre-drilled metal hinge thingy from Ace Hardware. I placed screws 4 1/2 " apart with nuts tightened to them and had friend place this between notches as I compressed pulley from above with 19 mm socket on my 3/8" ratchet. Slow and steady pressure did the trick. I replaced idler and tensioner pulley also. The tensioner was very tight with its left handed threads but finally released. Eeuroparts was great for the pulleys and Autozone had a great Dayco poly-cog belt.
I spent $76.00 and 2 hours pulling wheel and inner fender out.
Would have been $380.00 (+) from indy and more from dealer.
Go for it you all !!!!!!
