I may be wrong but i'm sure when I did mine that I just took it off without removing any other parts, other that the belt of course  :y


Cheers,

I was talking about the actual roller so you can remove the 'fan belt', the tensioner itself uses Torx head bolts.  :y
The seconday air pipe passes through the aux belt, so that has to be undone to get the belt off.  :y

But... if you are keeping the old belt you can leave it hanging over secondary air pipe while you work on the idler.
