Thank you for your quick response,I need to know if tensioner requires a special tool to loosen or can be moved with just a wrench or pry bar to loosen bellt.I know this seems petty but I have a short time schedule on the repair time and need to know as much as possible before I start.usually I go to a u-pull-it location and I learn by removal of trial and error on their vehicle, this time they had part already off so O did not have the luxury of experimentation on my side in this situation.Thank you again and I look forward to trying to make some sort of donation to you when it becomes affordable, right now I have been unemployed for a year and a half and it does not seem to get any better.I am attending a trade school to learn a new occupation.
