This is a great video and makes the job easier if you follow its steps. I literally just performed this yesterday but I didn't fully follow each step because you don't have to drain and remove the power steering reservoir but I did unattached it from its mounting bracket for extra wiggle room, nor remove the dip stick but i did loosen for it from its bracket so can get to that top 10mm bolt of the tensioner. It's definitely a tight fit all the way around doing this job. Unfortunately I came across a weird dilemma with the 8mm center bolt that goes at the center of the tensioner. For some odd reason the new tensioner I purchased had a smaller circumference for that 8mm bolt that my 8mm socket for my 1/4 racket wouldn't fit inside to tighten it down, so I had to file my 8mm socket to make it slimmer and it worked. I wasn't expecting to run into that but the mission is completed and the car no longer squeaks.
I think there's a pin in the tensioner that you can stick a pin in and it will keep the tensioner locked in place to make it easier to put the belt on and off. I know you're taking it off so it doesn't really matter but I'm just saying whenever somebody takes it off to say do the timing belt that would make it easier to put it back on
My tensioner won't move back to get the tension off the belt, I got the old one out and new one in but it won't move back like yours did in the beginning of video
ummm, dude, you show yourself removing the upper bolt twice. kinda strange, i felt like it was the twilight zone. or groundhogs day. because you remove 4 bolts on the tensioner, but there's only 3. anyone else catch that? because its crap like this that makes me not want to watch anymore of your videos.

Excellent explication thanks!

What kind of swivel socket did you use to take off the 8mm center bolt
Did you figured it out?
What size is the center bolt and what swivel socket did you use
My tensioner won't move back to get the tension off the belt, I got the old one out and new one in but it won't move back like yours did in the beginning of video
What size is the center bolt?
How long of a extension did you use
Size bolt for dipstick tube?
Dude you don't need to completely remove the power steering system. You can just slide it up off it's clip

It would be nice if you called out the bolt head sizes.
