So, I've finally gotten around to installing my new underdrive pulley I purchased from Jake Raby. This may sound like a silly question but, I can't seem to get the belt tensioner to do anything. I went at it a 24mm socket and rachet but the tensioner bolt just spins. No pivoting at all. Tried to lever it over to see how it moved bit could not budge it. I've triple checked the DYIs for this and no one mentions anything other than use 24mm socket to remove old belt.

What am I missing here?
