V6 Aux belt & Pulley Removal

[bongomartini]

Hi all,
On a recent trip to the Isle of Mull our auxiliary belt pulley (plastic) melted rendering the van none driveable. Alternator/power steering/water pump down. So we had to get flatbeded from Oban to Cairnryan to get ferry to Belfast. Nightmare.
I have sourced the relevant parts, but would like to have guidance on how this is replaced.
Belt was broke so no worries about removal there.
The pully tensioner obviously melted. I have been able to remove the bottom 8mm nut on the tensioner but cant locate the top nut. Do I have to remove further pulleys then remove the cam cover to access?
Any help in the dept would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Iain

Always stuck my vehicle into the garage to do V6 belts and cam seals so never needed to investigate You have used the parts diagrams I can't see there are any hidden bolts ? http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html

I just got stuck into removing the 2 visible 17mm bolt and 8mm hex off it came now to knock out £283.53 for replacement and belt, probably order an extra belt to be sure.

Thanks All
