I'm trying to adjust belt tension on td42 a/c .gq
Having probs getting at the lock nut on tensioner pulley.
Do i have to pull anything else off to get at it?
Or is it just in a bitch of a spot to get to?
Cheers for any advice.

Never done mine but if it's anything like the alternator I guess a bitch of job describes it spot on .

In my GQ(RB30) tensioner pulley nut is a bolt, I think 17mm. Then you have a 12mm or so bolt at the bottom behind the pulley to turn to
tighten or loosen the belt. It shouldn't be that hard, perhaps easier to access the pulley bolt from bottom rather than from from top.

Cheers.it was more about how to get to the bigger bolt.
I got it today...had to custom bend a spanner to get onto it.
Have a good one!
