Serpentine Tensioner

[kermit]

Anyone know how easy / hard it is to remove the Serpentine Belt tensioner on the diesel Accord? I've managed to round the tensioner bolt, and have managed to source a new one.

From looking at the exploded diagram on Lings it seems to be held on by 3 bolts - 27 & 2 of 22 - but does anyone know how accessible they are?

You're not going to get an impact in there and space is certainly tight. Make sure you use a 6-sided socket set and they'll come - you might need a breaker bar to get the torque.
