Im changing my serpentine belt on my 2012 volvo s60
my tensioner broke where I put the torx 45/ 50 to release the tensioner. I can't buy another one right now. Can anyone help me find another way to somehow release the tensioner long enough to get the belt on? Thank you

Most auto parts stores have a loaner kit (buy it to take out, refund on return) that is a long handle and engages the bolt head of the pulley wheel. Works slick !!
Please help me! I can't loosen my tensioner
