I have a belt tensioner like this one in my 08 P71. I need to replace the alternator, but the bolt that holds the tensioner on, is VERY small. It looks like there is some other way to loosen it up. I just cant see turning a bolt as small as the one that holds the tensioner on (much smaller than the older 1/2").
Anyone know how to release tension on the "new" ones?
