    Hi, Recently had the cambelt changed on my 306 TD 1998 (air con
    version) and mechanic noticed that I needed a new tension for the
    auxillary belt as it is off alignment. I didn`t have the part at the
    time (doh!) so don`t want to fork out for labour again (don`t like
    doing cam belts anyway ;-).The tensioner wheel is the one that sits
    higher than the "adjustable" other wheel. Now, question is , access
    is
    very limited so how do I get to remove this wheel and replace it with
    my nice new £72 one (!). Is it best to remove the engine mounting and
    "drop" the engine down so I can see the wheel more easily (after
    removing wheel and inner shield)?
    How do I achieve this? How does the old tensioner wheel come off? Is
    it clockwise turn to remove it? Any advice, greatly appreciated. I`m
    going to tackle this on my own!! Thanks
