Changing the serpentine tensioner - Lego Jon - 14-12-2013
Erm...
Ok I know how to change it. Undo bolt, remove, refit new, remove securing pin, done but how?
How do you get enough room?
I cant get my hand in there, let alone an Allen key, ratchet and my hand...
RE: Changing the serpentine tensioner - Toms306 - 14-12-2013
Do it from the wheel arch, there's just enough room to do it from there.

Take engine off the mount and drop it down on the jack give you more room if your struggling

It is doable with out removing the engine mount, i used a normal allen key ( as that will just fit in there ) with a bar on the end to give a bit more leverage, once loose undo and remove bolt with fingers. It needs a bit of jiggling about to get the tensioner out, and then the same with the new one to get it back in.
Once in do the bolt back up with your fingers as far as you can then a normal allen key and give it the final nip up with a bar on the end of the allen key. All done from the drivers side arch. Took less than an hour from start to finish.
