Just tightening up my aux belt as it's started to slip when turning the wheel stationary.
I slackened off the tensioner to check the alternator, ps pump and water pump. But now when i try to re-tension the pully on the 22mm nut it just seems to slip and doesnt tighten.

Any ideas?????

Cheers!

Sorted now cheers mate.

The 22mm bolt on the tensioner has no thread, it's cog wheel on the back of the tensioner that moves up and down on a rack of teeth.
Found that a couple of these teeth had snapped off at the end so i wasn't able to start winding it along.
Had to remove the alternator top bolt to give me enough slack so i could put the tensioner on half way where the remaining teeth were.

Another simple job turned nightmare.
