does that make me less of a man?
I couldn't get the ratchet or the wrench to unlock the stupid bolt to the alternator. I thought I was going to break the rear struts with all the yanking I was doing.
I feel really bad and I don't think I'm going to be able to pimp out tonight. Shame shame shame on a nigga.

I've never heard it called that, but yes a breaker bar will do the trick. I changed out the timing belt on my Honda this Fall. The job was a bitch but I saved myself $700+ If you don't have the right tools for the job and don't know what you're doing you're better off not DIY.

Two totally different things.

A cheater bar is a metal pipe that you put on the end of a ratchet to give you more leverage and force.

no need to unbolt the alternator. just find the tensioner in order to loosen the tension on the belt. then just pull it over. done in 10 minutes max.

This is only true on GM cars that I am aware of. The rest of the domestics, Japanese and German do NOT have a tensioner pulley.

holy shit u guys know your cars. I've been reading up more on the forums I frequent and there are tons of detailed DIYs out there on oil changes (sadly, which I don't do myself), spark plug replacements, valve adjustments, etc. I only recently changed the tires on the car myself for the first time. I had to make sure each nut was torqued properly and everything. LOL felt like such a mechanic even though it was so trivial.

Would love to be able to do more engine work by myself.

It is easy, but it is also easy to fuck up.
