stu yer putting the square end in and just wont budge,the belt is tight it just makes that horrid noise when cold as described in the other thread i pasted on this 1 so thought id change the bearing or get it off so can check it, is there any other way of getting it off ie by taking the belt off somewhere else to get the tensioner off to free it up

no i aint mate to be honest just a bit frightened of breaking the casting as it just wont move at all,thinking of taking belt off by either removing another pully and then undoing the tensioner at mo

can only find 1 12mm bolt that holds it on which is the one above the oil filter and just goes tight and feels like it gonna ring off so il try it again when engine run a bit to get a bit of heat in it, cant find any other bolt other than the 14mm one that goes through centre of bearing can some 1 show me where exactly the bolts are pleeeeease

was just wondering if anyone knows how to separate the two parts of the aux tensioner to access the spring? the range of movement on mine doesn't return back to the necessary position removing alan keys from two key holes...it doesn't spring all the way back so think there may be some corrosion preventing it happening so wanted to open it up to clean/replace whatever.

Anyone know how to get it open/done this before? All the other threads seem to focus on the pully bearing and that seems ok on mine.
