i have a 2004 s300.....the fan gearbox belt broke no big deal right? except how does 1 get the new belt on the tensioner there is a metal tab about 1 inch wide preventing me from getting the new belt on....do i have to remove the tensioner or bend the tab out of the way or is there a trick to this? any help would be appreciated thanks

Loosen the bolt until you can get the belt pass, be careful to keep everything lined up and tighten back up. I like to jam screwdriver between the belt and guild to keep it in the right place. Check the tensionor pulley and arm, they are probably junk if the belt broke.
