Wow, I thought mine was loose with ~1/2" of sag! There's no way I can get it off without removing the end plate from a pulley.

Yeah, you adjust tension by shimming under the 4 screws holding down the front transfer shaft. Not very effective though because by the time you get the long belt right, the front is too tight. I'd rather see a simple spring-loaded idler riding on a bearing.
