Hi guys, aux belt sh*t itself today and mangled up around the pillows. Looks like the tensioner failed and let it run off.
Can anyone fill me in if this is the right tensioner fora BRE? And possibly how hard it is to change?

That was the tensioner I purchased for my BRE engine.
 
Yeah, changed it yesterday. It’s thecorrect tensioner, also had to replace the bottom idler as it has destroyed that too.
