Changing the serpentine tensioner
#4
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.
