If turns out the one in there is oem clean the crap out of it and toss in the trunk as a spare (coat with light oil or wd-40 and seal in zip lock)

Thanks! I did buy a 'shallow' 19 mm socket but it's actually 20 mm deep. Not sure if it will be enough. Will check when I receive the new tensioner and buy appropriate tools if needed. I've never owned a through hole socket. Might be time if I'm going to do this now and then.
