One of my jobs today was to replace the aux belt as I suspect that it has never been done. Big thanks to the how to guide. Glad I did change it... see photo... 😳

I tried to use a breaker bar on the tensioner but when the socket was on it never gave a position to allow leverage. I reverted to my torque wrench at max torque which worked a treat. Used a suitably sized offcut of wood to rest the wrench against to maintain tension relief whilst installing the new belt. Nice easy job that took very little time but brings a good dose of "peace of mind" on completion 👍.

I'd being going for the cider too.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
