The trick is the exact size socket/extension.

3/4(19mm) socket but none of my short socket reach over the body off the tensioner and my deep sockets hit the AC compressor.

The last one I helped with the guy bought a medium depth socket worked perfectly but I use my through hole socket set with adapter it fits like a custom BMW tool.

Crescent 20 Pc. 3/8" Drive Pass-Thru X6 Standard Spline Mechanics Tool Set - CX6PT20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009L8GEPM...0RC5NNR4?psc=1

The exact set I have but I also bought the 3" extension which is needed for this job.
