you aren't loosening the bolt. You are putting a wrench on the bolt to act as an extension of the pivot arm to gain leverage.
When you pull it and feel the spring, you'll understand.

It's not an allen type bolt. The tensioner is a 14mm hex head bolt..

well thanx for all the help guys. but im gonna go and kill my isuzu dealer tomarrow, about 4 hours it took me to put it in and when I slapped it on the battery light still is on and the TOD still doesn't work(which might be a good thing with WDC coming up now i can peel out) but they told me that an alternator would fix it all and it fixed nothing. so im gonna go raise hell and make a scene until they fix the problem! grrr am i pissed!

You might want to charge your battery with a charger before you go on the warpath. It's possible that your last alternator wasn't charging and left the battery in a low charge state and the new alt hasn't brought the level up yet.
You could also try running the engine for 30-45 minutes with ZERO accessories turned on to see if it brings the charge up.
Do you have a voltmeter to check the battery voltage in a running and non-running state?
