If it is locked, it will need to be replaced. Since the belt may be too tight to get off, you may need to cut it off.

Here are directions for replacing the tensioner. The attached pic correlates with the directions.

Hi,

Yes. They both need to be removed. I believe the one in the middle is a reverse torx.

Let me know if you get it off.

Joe

Hi,

You are very welcome. Let me know how things turn out for you or if you have questions or need help.

Take care,
Joe
