Need to borrow a Belt tool!

Hey guys, just got my MCS a couple days ago & the belt needs to be changed desperately. I live in SF, anyone have a belt lever tool I could borrow?

The tool makes it a one person job...
But if you have a helper...
You can use a socket on the bolt by the tensioner as a fulcrom...the use a pry bar to depress the tensioner and belt...have the helper put the pin in....not as stable when you pull back, hense the helper, but it works.
