OK, I am finishing up a timing belt job and can't remember what the size of the sepentine idler pulley "bolt" is. VADIS says 15 mm hex. Just looking at it is clearly not this. I seem to remember that it was a torx but i can't see in there and can't get a torx and socket in there either.

Anyone know: a) the sixe of the bolt (either torx or allen), and b) any useful tricks to get the tensioner pulley to moveso that I can install the serpentine belt

Thanks in advance

Got it. The vadis info for my car was wrong. There is a torx 45 nut that you can get to to relieve the tension
