either a 15mm open wrench and next to the tensioner there is a notch, put the wrench there and push.

OR

smallish pry-bar, stick it under the snout of the blower and use it as leverage on top of the tensioner pulley.... youll figure it out

The notch is locate behind the pulley (toward the engine), on the arm of the tensioner. You cant miss it, its square.. I will try to go take a picture of it.

haha yah its all good. Mine will not work anymore with a 15mm I think someone tried it with a larger one and eff'ed it up a little..

OP be careful with this is soft metal compared to your forged steel tools. Wrinkles easily!
