Do I need a torque wrench? What size works for that? I really don’t know what I’m doing but I’m trying to do it myself to save a few hundred dollars. Please help :(

So I have everything off but the belt which I am having a lot of trouble with. Trying to get the belt tensioner (?) to move so I can take the belt off if that makes sense
