First of all, you're right...the mounting bolts are 8mm, the cap bolt is 10mm.Howie, haven't been able to get a 10mm socket through the hole on the three I've done (Gen 1 & 2)....... even tried a wobble extension.... and that only loosens the tensioner cap bolt.... the 8 mm bolts must be done from inside or bottom.I used a 1/4" drive 10mm socket at the end of a 10" long 1/4" drive extension through the inspection/adjustment hole on the frame. Worked a treat and I didn't have to ruin a wrench to do it. :dntknw:
How hard could it be?? :dntknw:
I slid the extension through the inspection hole FIRST, and plugged it in to the socket I already had placed on the bolt heads, held in place with a shop "magnet-on-a-stick". It was a wobble extension, so not being a perfectly straight shot at the socket didn't matter.
