The auxiliary belt tensioner maintains tension on the belt through a spring system; to replace it, first loosen the spring tension to remove the auxiliary belt from the pulleys; at this point, unscrew the fixing bolt of the tensioner and that of the idler pulley (it is always advisable to replace both) to remove them; then apply the new tensioner by inserting the appropriate centring pin into its seat and then tightening the fixing bolt; install the new idler pulley and apply the new auxiliary belt.
