Alternator/Aircon belts

Anyone changed them on a TD4

They look a bit awkward to do (not much room)

What size is the nut on the tensioner to remove the belts and did you remove the engine mounting

Thanks

ITS A REET pig off a job. . . .when i did mine , i jacked up drivers front wheel [UK]took orft wheel and plastic cowell and just cut the old belts orft, doing the air con belt were easy just follow heinz manwell , but the aux belt was a mare. . . .need to get a long reach non offset spanner ring or open ender put the belt in position [sept for large bottom pulley] ,attach long reach spanner on tensioner and pull down towards rear of motor as much as you can. . . .get a pair off mole grips and clamp spanner using engine sub frame [hence locking tensioner] then fiddle belt to correct position ,and when happy unlock mole grips. . . .its still er pig took me a whole afternoon till i thought of the mole grip idea. . . .best oh luck
