What tool do I use to remove the tensioner assembly on a 1999 Lincoln continental I tried the 40 torx socket but there was not enough space

Are you going through the inner fender to access the tensioner? If I recall, the PS fluid resivour and the degas bottle need removed to access the mounting bolts. Is that what is in your way?
