Or a quicker way....Engine and ignition off whilst on the road/ driveway, stick it in 2nd, pull clutch in, go backwards as fast as your little duck feet can travel then let the clutch out sharply. This should notch the tensioner up if there's any left on it.
TweetytekAll suggestions have been tried exactly as described. As a 20 year veteran of the motor trade I've seen all sorts of "can't happen" things. Not sure if it was meant to be but I found your post condescending. People come to forums to share ideas and ask for help, not to be spoken to/about like a 5 year old. Apologies if I have this wrong. Just the way your post comes across.

I have no idea what your competence is , so if I'm teaching you to suck eggs in a particular domain then just frekin ignore me. Your perception is your reality but I wasn't talking to you like a 5 yr old... But as a 20 stobne heavy metal fan chain smoking tattooed headed fat bastard , I am not used to people giving me shit , I can be blunt and to the point , so maybe I do come across in a certain way but I never set out to disrespect or humiliate... So,That's my style. Once people get to know me I'm a gentle giant. Most people on this forum don't know me and I don't know them. Don't take me to heart. Glad to see your engine breakdown is going well and keep us updated.
