1.5 dci NON AC aux tensioner

as above, is there a MOT tool to tension the aux belt. i can see a tooth gap on the tensioner and a tooth thing on the bracket that bolt to the block.

ive seen something that looks like a long threaded bar with a hook on the end, and nut ( s ) on the other, winding them in tensions the belt.

could do with the tool if its available

There is a tool yes but I always leave it in the toolbox and use a medium breaker bar to roll the tensioner into place and tighten the T40 (or whatever stupidly tight fixing it has)

Yea there is a tool, breaker bar does it for me. There's also a electronic hertz tool to get the tension correct.

All I need to do is find a better way of tensioning the belt. Currently have to push the tensioner down with a crow bar in the slotted gap, and then tighten up the 10mm /t40 what ever bolt is in ther gap
