Ever thrown an alternator belt ?

well if you have you know how much of a pain one is to put back on with no tools right? well firechicken and i experienced that tonight, only we came up with a great idea. being that he recently finished putting his t5 in his car, we decided to scrounge the car and try to find something to force the belt back onto the pulley, all he had was a fold-up torx setso we used this to hold the belt on the pulley, and rolled the car forward while it was in fifth gear. amazingly it worked, and ended up saving us from having to call somebody and wait for them to bring us tools. so if any of you people with a manual trans and v belts ever throw a belt just think of this.
