Exclamation how to loosen up belt tensioner 1989 300ce

im in the procces of replacing my alternator,i have managed to loosen up the 12mm threaded rod that runs down to the belt tensioner,but im also aware there is a bolt that runs thru the center of the tensioner,someone told me it was 20mm,i found that 15mm fit it ok,im having a hard time trying to loosen the belt,see there is a protective metal half sleeve that covers the outer edge of the bolt,and i have large fingers,is there a special tool i can get to loosen up the tensioner,its icy cold and ive been working in the snow on the cold ground,id like to speed things up a bit if possible,thanks guys.marc
