once you remove the bumper and put the lock carrier into service mode
you have access. There are no pistons or springs for the tensions. Only 2 bolts. the smaller bolts loosens the tensioner so it can be moved. The second larger on is not really a bolt, but the head of one and that allows you to move the tensioner. Here is the interesting and important part. Turning a torgue wrench clockwise LOOSENS the belt and turing it Counter-clockwise TIGHTENS the belt. So to reinstall new belt set torgue wrench to 70nm and turn Couter-Clockwise, and then hold it and tighten the smaller bolt. All Done
