5PK705SF (short a/c pump streeetch belt)

Curious that there must have been a fixed tensioner according to vida, has anyone ever seen one ? seems like a bad idea to me !

As others have said the aux belt is a pretty easy one as the tensioner is very accessible (unlike some engines) and doesnt need any special tools to release it..

Has anyone had experience of doing the stretch belt, there seem to be some tools but wonder what real life experience of getting one off is like ..
Does that Gates kit come with the longer bolts and a new idler pulley or is there not a second pulley?
