I've accidentally broke the bolt of the assembly, so I'd thought I'd share how I got it it off without cutting the belt and replacing a near $300 part.
Thanks a million for this video. I went to replace the alternator and realized the tensioner bolt had been broken by a previous owner. Did not know what to do until watching this video and voila. It worked!
There is a tool I found out later that is a tensor tool thats thin. www.harborfreight.com/serpentine-belt-tool-kit-63689.html?cid=paid_google|||63689&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0emHBhC1ARIsAL1QGNfH_5Tzp7778tMqqekwQ5SVobJtXNXC1geukptT1Q2BJsHjGgIcCqIaArnUEALw_wcB
