For the SB tensioner bolts instead of going up one ( metric ) size go up one ( standard ) size it works perfectly.

Hi there, I'll have to give that a try on my next one! Thanks for the info! Greg

to remove the release pin on the tensioner just just a magnetic screw driver to coerce it out while you release the pressure using two wrenches. I can do this while under the car.

Yes, that would work too.
