2008 Sentra 2.0 S, 37k miles. The pulley in my serpentine belt auto-tensioner is very noisy and have lateral play. At about $35 for the part I thought It would be an easy fix BUT I cant get to the Torx50 bolt that holds the tensioner; there is just not enough room to get the torx socket alone in the bolt, much less socket plus ratchet. The FSM here does not mention any special tool. I even tried to raise the engine a little but the tensioner bolt doesn't move up far enough to show thru an opening in the sheet metal in front of the engine. Any Ideas/Suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

Did you remove the fixed drive belt auto-tensioner pulley?
