What is the size of the bolt head on the belt tensioner
I'm about to embark on doing my belt for the first time and see that I need to get a wrench on the end of the tensioner to move it into the service position. Can anyone tell me the size of that bolt?
N18 engine, 2011 Clubman S (R55) is the car.
(Oh I wish this was as easy as my Saab. they molded a square hole in the top of the tensioner that fits a 1/2 inch drive extension. Stick it in the hole, push, pin the tensioner and move on. This one is quite a bit more complicated!)

Answering my own question, the size of the bolt on the side of the tensioner is 30mm. I did end up using the method above to release the tension but if you need to do it by yourself you may need a wrench on it.
