(OM603) I did use a vice grip, but I put a thin piece of wood between the belt and the jaw of the vice-grip to keep from chewing up the belt. I also looked up the spec for tightening: 40 - 45 Nm depending on where you look. I had thought it was 10 Nm and the torque I was exerting on it with the vice-grip/wood clamp was more than that, but maybe not 45 Nm (33 ft-lbf).
