About a year ago, I changed the water pump on my 93 325iS and it was no problem getting at the tensioner and removing the serpentine belt with the rad and fan out of the way. Now I need to change the belt and it seems impossible to get my chubby little fingers in between the rad and fan to get at the tensioner. The picture in the Bentley shows the process with the rad and fan out of the car. They can't mean you need to remove these items to change the belt. I'm loathe to open the cooling system just to change a belt. Help?
