    Default Belt Tensioning - E34 M60 engine

    I have two serpentine belts on my 1995 530i E34 M60 engine and therefore I have two tensioner pulley arrangements. I have two problems/questions with the tensioner pulleys.

    One, Bentley says that I should be able to put a wrench on the nut of the pulley and rotate the tensioner so as to put tension of the bolt. But when I try to do this, the nut comes loose and I can’t apply tension. Does anyone know how to tighten the pulley for this engine?

    Two, there is only a limited amount adjustment in the slot of tensioner pulley. When I bang up against the maximum amount of adjustment the belt is still pretty loose. The car will run fine but I hear it slipping once in a while. Could it be that the spring in the tensioner is bad or is this normal?
