It's completely my own fault - In the absense of a proper tool, I put a 1/4 drive extension through the little hole where the headlight usually resides, which prevents you getting the full swing of the tensioner. I'm fuming with myself to be honest after I just had to cough up to replace a 6 month old one with a broken pulley.
Any suggestions on getting this f**ker on? I really don't fancy paying out again.
I tried compressing the spring with a jubilee clip, but as tight as I got it before a little bit of it snapped, it's still not enough to get the top hole to line up (routing the belt first, and putting the top bolt for the spring in last. But I'm not sure if the spring was fully compressed or the jubilee clip just isn't strong enough here.
If there is no possible way, how much does the proper tool cost? Mot. 1368 I think?
Thoughts?
