Tensioner fall off

Yep. After making it 48 miles, I hit the exit ramp of the express way and started hearing a god awful noise. Made the turn and realized my power steering was gone. Figured it was the belt and hoped it wasn't my water pump that caused it.

Anyway, I found the tensioner, washer, and the sleeve that slides inside of it. The owner's manual talks about a spacer but doesn't mention the sleeve. The Porsche parts manual doesn't mention a spacer or a sleeve. Just the wheel.

My questions are, do I have all the parts necessary to put it back together? And can I just pull that little arm off and put it together outside the car and then slide the arm back in? (I tried just pulling on it, and that doesn't work. I'm too skeered to put a pry bar on it)
