The tensioner assembly can be removed with the engine in the car; there is just a lot of stuff in the way. And, I finally found a diagram for you:

#10 has to come off before the arm, #8, can be released and removed to get at the problem bolt, #6. But as #10 is on the back of the housing, all the other aforementioned stuff has to come off first.
