The space that opened up shows the ac lines but not the tensioner bolt. I reached down and by feel found a lug protruding from the side of the engine block.
I tried to put my deep socket 19mm socket over it, but it just won't go in.
Can you post a picture of the socket you used on this job?
I'm wondering if mine is too big so when I pushed it in the outer edge of the socket got caught on something around the tensioner lug.
Much obliged!
Theo
