This tip saved me hours of getting the belt back on, I’m by myself so the tip of putting a nail in that hole to hold the tensioner back was a life saver!
I will be honest i did this job a few days ago on the same engine didnt need to take any of the hoses out if you have an extension for the wrench it should be pretty straight forward
Its pretty easy to get too, just. Need to loosen the intake so you can slide it up, taking it off is your choice but that intake pipe sucks to get back in... I cut my intake in half so it's a bit easier to get to. Use a long breaker bar or one of the super thin wrenches made for taking tension off the belt. Mainly the intake pipe is one of the only things you will have to remove
what is your Instagram. you seem so knowledgeable with this badboy. I might pick one up this weekend (75k-miles) it would be great to get some information when stuff comes up from you. won't go for free though! thank you

Did you have to get under the car to remove the tensioner? Or is there a way to get to it from the front?

What size socket is for the release tensioner?
It's a torx star head, the biggest one I have in my kit, not sure the exact size I think it was a t50 or bigger
