Idler pulley on timing belt tensioner S70 1998

Hello again Brickboarders,

My question concerns the pivoting tensioner pulley (not the fixed one) in the timing belt area. There's a nut (13 mm socket) inside the pulley, and I'm hoping it's on a stud that's WELDED to the bracket (or a bolt that is anti-rotated). If it's a loose bolt that has to be held on the back side when replacing the pulley, I'm screwed because I can't remove the bracket - the pivot point has a useless T45 torx with hardly any depth to it - I tried but no way I'm gonna get that off.

So ... anyone know for sure if the pulley stud is welded or otherwise anti-rotated on the back side? If it's not, I'm leaving the pulley alone because the bearing feels reasonably tight, and I don't want to risk not being able to re-tighten the nut.

Thanks
