Release tensioner V8 Vantage
Does a special tool is needed to release tensioner and slip belt from idler ?
If yes is anyone have a photo of the special tool ?
This is for a V8 Vantage from 2006.

No special tool for belt tensioner, just a 3/8 ratchet with a longer than normal handle for leverage

I use a 24"-long 3/8" breaker bar. Like Irish said, a ratchet works as well.
