if the corner is rounded on your tensioner then hammer down a 14mm instead of a 15 an then jus pull it off...its what i did an it came off easily when i was done

Thanks for the tip. How hard would it be to remove the whole thing and machine it down?
Can I still use this tool if it gets worse?

theres really no need to machine it down...do you mean so you can make it a square again?...wat would be the point?....the 15mm wrench is loose anyway an when you hammer down a 14mm on it, it makes it easier than the 15 cuz its tight an theres no play to come off when your pushing the tensioner down
