What special tool??? It's just one bolt and it slips out. If it's a 3.0L Vulcan engine it's pretty easy. Just reach down behind the back of the engine to get at it. 3.0L Duratec is harder, you may have to do it from underneath. With no speedometer and no shifting, this is the most logical place to start.

You'd have to remove the belt and spin each pulley seperately. I think it's a 15mm wrench on the tensoner. You''ll feel and here a diffrence in sound. Really grainy feel way indicate an issue, usually an idler or tensioner pulley.

I will give it a try this weekend and see how it works and thanks again.
