Some very helpful tips for people:
WARNNG1:
Something most of the Online DIY missed was the use of Torx T60 instead of T55!
I was unlucky and perhaps my tensioner had too much dirt built-up. I stripped the Trox hole with T55 and it was a terrible and scary feeling.
I ended up finding a T60 to finish the job properly.
Warning 2:
Many people got stuck after the new tensioner is installed and are trying to pull the belt on the tensioner wheel. It seems that the belt is just missing a few cm and can never be put on the tensioner.
When you encounter this problem, do not panic. Do not try to torque the torx hole with T55 to see if you can release more tension. You will strip it as well! The proper way to find slack (there must have) from the belt routing. A proper installed new tensioner will not need any extra effort to have the belt slide on it. Remember!
