Hi and welcome to mightyram. There should be 2 nuts that require being backed off - the nut that the tensioner pivots on and a second nut that locks it in place once the tensioner has been set. Loosen them both, check your belt deflection so the belt isn't loose or over tight, lock up the adjuster nut then the pivot. Should be set to go.

Thank you! I will have to try it when I get some time off.

Ok so what size is the bolts everything I got is to small for the other one( not the 10 mm)

Off the top of my head 12-14mm. Don't recall exactly (has been a few years since I'd undone some pretty ordinary 'repair' work performed on my donor engine)
