    u need to remove the alternator, then you should be able to see where all your bolts are, from memory there are about 4 bolts that hold that on. you'll need to top up your coolant levels afterwards. i cant seem to find my gregories...

    the tensioner pulley bolt is left hand thread. by the sounds of it, you have just done what i did 2 years ago :) i know the pain!

    someone should post up the bolt count and what needs to be removed shortly, as i cant find my manual
