If the tensioner shock is cactus may as while change the tensioner while you are there.

please explain... I've done tensioners many times on 103's. Its impossible to replace the tensioner without removing the fan/clutch, and the pulley.
Theres a bracket in front of the tensioner. 3 bolts, 2 go through the power steering pump bracket the other one goes through the engine block, which is blocked by the fan, clutch and pulley. and the 19mm bolt that goes through the middle. You can replace the belt shock without removing the fan/clutch and pulley, but not the actual tensioner.
