changing belts
are their any special tools or tricks required to change the belts on a lightning, my ford dealer tried to change them and told me they could not because they did not have the right tool, it was something about locking the flywheel? any instructions on changing belts would be appreciated.

The fan DOES NOT need to come off to change the s/c belt.
It will just slip around the blades of the fan one at a time, but it will come off.
For the accesory belt, the stock supercharger lower pulley has to come off before you can get to it.
This is one of the selling points of non-caged lower pulleys.
Instead of using a strap like the one that comes with the tuners aftermarket pulley, I've seen a way to wedge a 14mm wrench on one of the inspection cover bolts while the closed end of the wrench is on the nut of the converter. I believe the instructions for the ASP lower pulley outlines it this way. It doesn't necessarily require a special tool.
