We now have to remove the fan belt and fan. To do this you will need a 19mm socket. As per the pictures, slacken this nut but do not remove fully.

Then slacken off the 13mm nut on the tensioner (sorry picture is 90 degrees to the right) Once done pull upwards on the belt and remove from the pulley's.
