Serpentine Belt replacement

How do I relieve the tension on the serpentine belt on my 2003 S40? I only see a torx hole next to the tensioner there is no nut on the pulley itself.

That torxes hole is what you use. I believe it is a T-55 or something like that.

You are correct sir it is a T-55 Torx bit. Rather a tight spot in there. I think I need a pipe extension for my 3/8 drive socket.

I have a universal kit with alot of parts. I pop the plastic cover off the tensioner pulley and use the 14MM bolt for the pulley.
