serpentine belt tensioner

[ukstmoo]

Hi

Re - Belt tensioner

What is the recommended way of taking the tension off of the serpentine belt?
I can lever off the manifold with a bit of wood but don't particularly like that idea as the tensioner is very hard to move against the spring tension. There is a lug above the tensioner at the rear but not enough to lever against

When assembling does the tensioner just sit under its own spring weight?

Thanks

Steve
