I need to replace my alt. my problem starts with the tensioner, how do i loosen it? i can take the small belt off with no problem. but the belt that the alt is on, on the front of the tensioner it dont have a hex thing for the tool to go in. is there a cap on the front that i have to take off or is there a special tool that i need. thanks

if you don't have the hex tool you can buy a metric allen wrench to fit then ucut it anduse a socket, or if you can fit a large bar or screwdriver on it to move it down shold work. Also if you have some large torx bits they will work in lew of an allen wrench.
