- 93 explorer sport
I have a 93 explorer sport 2wd, 2 door which doesn't use a 3/8 driver but instead requires something like a 15mm socket (I forget exactly what I was using). I can turn the socket counter clockwise (clockwise does nothing) and I'm doing about half a turn but it still doesn't seem as if the belt is losing enough tension although the tensioner is clearly sliding towards the right (see pic).
I would push down harder but I'm afraid of breaking something and it's also pretty close to the radiator hose so it's a pain to get to.
It looks like this:

Has anyone removed one of these before? Is there some sort of trick to this? I see on the picture where it says "Lift" with the arrow. Maybe I just need to force the thing down further?
