I had the engine surported and undone the mount bolts there is 1 hidden above the a/c pulley. Removed the crack pulley & used a 10mm ratchet spanner to undo the 2 Torque bolts that hold the tensioner & then when it's loose it came out through the bottom of the engine. I left the belt on coz I couldn't get it off.

I was able to have my car on a 2poster ramp at work which was good.
