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 👍.
:) that's how to stay on top form before problems start for the small outlay and time.
be pleased its done enjoy the cuppa afterwards and don't worry about now job done :) :)

@BARNPOT2000 I now added replacing the aux belt to my To-Do list :)
BTW - It's never too hot for a cuppa ;)
