Don't forget to put the middle of the slot where you want the wheel to be , 
then one way along the slot reduces tension to allow the track off the 
other way [ very little movement ] puts the tension on.
On the Hetzer the wheels interlock so the only way to get the track off is 
to pull a axle out !
