So I recently tried to diy my serpentine belt on my e92 n55. All was going well until I went to put the new belt on. For one I stripped the t50 holding on the tensioner. Also the new belt would not fit at all. I tried everything but it wouldn't go on. So two questions 1) how would I remove that tensioner t50 not much room to bang a socket or anything? 2) how the hell do I get the belt on?

Did you remove the fan when working in this area? If you haven't, I'd start with this as it frees up some space to work in that area...

I believe you stripped it because it is T60, not T50. As said remove fan then tap t60 in w hammer.

Ended up getting it off with a damn wrench. There's no room to get eneight leverage to bang anything in there. And the bolt itself is a t50, the serpentine tensioner has a t60 to break tension.
