Fellas, I tried the Gates V tool pictured above (the red one). I’m not sure if any of those will work on the Mazda pulley. I don’t remember there being enough room to use my Gates tool. See post #53 for Yrweis reshare of my belt replacement post. The tool was too wide for the pulleys and I had to toss it aside. Another thing with these tools is you have to be sure they’ll work when turning the crank a certain way. The Mazda engine has to be turned in the opposite direction of most other cars I believe (clockwise vs counterclockwise).
I got the big zip ties from Harbor Freight and that did the trick.
