Eerh,..? What? I read the service manual, and changed my REAR tire with a sears red bike jack, a torqure wrench, the H/D belt tensoiner tool, and a few basic hand tools.
I put 5k miles on my bike afterwards, and yesterday had to change the FRONT tire.
Uggh,..? Gee,..? Ya think I wore out the Front tire because I over tightened the belt?
Seriously though, You'd most likely Fry a wheel bearing Long Before you snapped any sprocket bolts by mis-aligning and over tightening a drive belt. Now if you left the sprocket bolts loose, that could be a different story.

If I want an untrained amateur who can read a book, find answers, and has the tools and mechanical skills to do the job, then I will do it myself.

Yeah, I was getting a wee bit sarcastic, and hoped the emoticon at the end of the post would make that clear.
