S80 T6, 2002. I am replacing the serpentine belt tensioner and have the old one loose but can't figure out if it can be squeezed out without taking off the P/S pump and or Alternator. I have the P/S fluid reservior up and the cover off the electronics for clearance but can't squeeze it by.
If someone has done this and can give me a hint on the simplest way to get it out/in, I would greatly appreciate that help.

If you e- mail me ,I can send a fax of VADIS procedures to replace tensioner. experttech

Thanks VOBD. I wish the S80 had the kind of clearance that the S70 has. I'm thru all the part in Bay 13 but I need to sneak the tension pulley out.

I got the tensioner out/in by removing the power steering pump. Did not have to disconnect any P/S hoses and the tensioner just squeezed by with the pulley facing up.
