most cars, like my ford 5.8 motor, use a wrench on the pulley bolt. mines a 15mm, place on bolt and move it counter clockwise. my tensioner puts the tension on a clockwise direction. if a wrench doesnt give enough leverage, use a short socket on a long breaker bar.

How do you loosen an idler pulley bolt?
Just to restate this: if the pulley turns counterclockwise (when the engine is running), then the bolt will probably have a reverse thread, so you turn the bolt clockwise to unscrew it. (This is so the pulley doesn’t loosen the bolt.)

Tensioners add pressure from an adjustable pivot point or spring mechanism to keep your serpentine belt taut as it circulates around the engine. There is no recommended timeframe in which to replace your tensioner, especially as the belt itself usually needs replacing before the tensioner does.
Which way do you turn a tensioner bolt?
“Did a little research and learned that the pulley mounted on the tensioner itself is a left hand thread, which means to loosen and remove will require a clockwise turn, unlike the other pulley (mounted on the alternator) which is loosened counterclockwise. So in case anyone was wondering.”
