I was able to change out my belts and tensioners this weekend. I hate to admit that it took me over 30 mins to figure out how to install the new hydraulic version. The mech version has two mounting bolts and the hydr has three. I almost gave up surmising I must have been shipped the one for the M62 by mistake. But after a new round of flipping the tensioner sideways, upside down, angled left, right, left, left again, I f i n a l l y matched up the needed bolt pattern. If I had know if would be such a mental exercise I would have taken pictures for any DIY attempts.

Didn't help that the oil filter housing was right in the way.
