The invention comprises a belt de-installation tool having a monolithic curvilinear body. The body comprises a pulley engaging surface for engaging a perimeter of a pulley. A sloped arcuate belt engaging surface extends from the pulley engaging surface at a predetermined angle. A curved surface also extends from each end of the tool at a predetermined angle to the belt engaging surface. The tool is placed on a pulley between belt spans. As the pulley is turned the belt rides up on a curved surface of the tool, holding the tool in contact with the pulley. As it rotates, the belt comes into engagement with and gradually tracks across the sloped arcuate belt engaging surface, moving laterally to a pulley plane until it is fully disengaged from the pulley groove by action of the sloped arcuate belt engaging surface.
