My recollection is the pulley has an allen-head bolt retaining it - perhaps something covering that. Anyway, at the age of your car, if the tensioner has not yet failed, it is due. Tensioner uses torsion on a rubber bush that deteriorates with age. Bet you'll replace the pully and the rubber will fail when you try to adjust it.
