You just want the tensioner wheel with the bearing.  Undo nut in centre (15mm), remove old, fit new and retighten nut  :y  2 minutes!!  Refit belt as per diagram above.

If it really does have to be that tight, use a trolley jack to raise the 3ft Scaff Bar on a very good ratchet and socket, then lower/raise/lower/raise etc until you have reached the desired torque.  :y

Do the work then ask your local garage to torque it up for you.
