    Belt tensioner Securing bolt

    Started great, fan removed with no trouble and belt removed. The snag arrived when trying to unbolt the tensioner as my sockets would not fit into the aperture. I believe the bolt is 14mm and has a LH thread but what type of socket do I require. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    The tensioner assembly to block is a normal RH thread.
    The pulley to tensioner is LH
    The bolt is a 14 or 15mm 12 point head. A standard multi-point socket will fit.

    I replaced my tensioner assembly a couple days ago, had to use a 3/8" drive 14mm multipoint socket. My 1/2" drive socket outside diameter was too big to fit inside the recess when the bolt is.
