Hi David,
Good to see you on the 9-5 board. I seem to remember from the 9k board that you went over to the dark side and bought a BMW.
Anyway, the tension on the belt is relieved by putting a large box wrench or a torque wrench on the pulley center bolt and pulling it forward (clockwise). That is also the direction the belt turn towards, so the bolt loosens anti-clockwise, and thus is regularly threaded.
Belt replacement is more tricky in this car than on the 9k, as the RH engine support bracket needs to come off. Therefor you have to support the engine with either a special tool (a pair of wedges between the engine and the subframe) or, like I did, support the engine oil pan with a trolley jack.
good luck,
Jan Geert
