For those of you on Facebook you would have seen the struggles I had removing the nut from the alternator tensioner, boy the V6 doesn't leave much room to work with.
After almost rounding the nut with an open ended spanner I decided to call it quits and think of another plan of attack. Looked everywhere for a 3/8th drive 6 point socket (as I feared a 12pt would ruin it) and couldn't find sh*t. Ended up visiting a Repco that was selling an elcheapo GV tools set for $19.99 10-21mm or something and some other stuff. Most importantly though, they were all small and all 6 point! With some cohesion with a metal pole I managed to crack the nut and get the job done.
Alternator tensioner had a bit of play and PS was fine, hopefully I don't chew another belt and the crank pulley is all good, time will tell.
With the belts came EBC reds, excited to ditch these warped brakes and chuck some nice rotors and pads on, loved the EBCs in my GR sized brakes so I can't imagine the stopping power with twin pots
