Sorry Stu just seen this, best thing for the tensioner is a 3/8 drive ratchet, the square drive fits in a square hole at the end of the spring loaded tensioner

No problem. The reason I was changing it was because of the light on the dash. Turns out the connector was loose lol

At least I now have a spare alternator.
