Silkolene Silkopen or Plus Gas would be better. Impact socket driver available ? If not, try striking the bolt head on with a hammer whilst applying pressure to undo it.

WD40 is better than nothing I supose, but do it tonight. It will give it much more time to work.

I've emailed you a diagram of the correct routeing of the drive belt - just in case you can't work this out when re-assembling.

I wish I had seen this post 10 days ago...  I managed to break the bloody tension arm and then took 2 of us to get the flipping belt back on properly, following the Vx/BMW method...   But, I shall make a point of remembering the removal of said bolds and mole grips....

Its soooooo much easier, and never breaks the tensioner arm, unlike the BMW way. What idiot dreamt that up!
