1998>2010 9-5 B2*5 Drive belt tensioner release.

Hopefully this will help someone/everyone.
To release the tension on the drive belt it calls for a ½" drive extension bar to fit in the socket on the adjuster. This is OK on LHD vehicles, I guess, but on RHD vehicles the master cylinder is in the way. Having cracked a tensioner before I came up with this solution: Use a speedbrace.
The crank clears the master cylinder!
