MINI Belt Tensioner Replacement

I recently replaced the bearing on my cooper s tensioner pulley assy
I found that I only had to remove the top engine mount assy and then the
Belt tensioner was abled to be jiggled out, also I just used a 600 mm
Approx piece of 25/25angle iron with a small cut out on one side and it
Worked fine for detensioning the spring,TIP be absolutely sure to put belt on correctly,
