Aux belt tensioner tool?

While messing up today's cambelt change on my tdi, just wondering if there is a specific tool for the aux belt tensioner rather than a spanner and pot luck? can't have too many tools!
 
I'm interested in this too. The tensioner felt like it would need a fair lever to move and the nut size didn't look like on that my little socket sets extends to.

I made one from a stip of aluminium about 1" wide, then drilled two holes to allow a nut and bolt to go through, the end of bolt needs to be about 20 mm long max, the bolts go on the lug on the casting and in one of the slots in the casting
Works a treat.
There is a 4mm hole so you tension the spring until a 4mm pin can be slid in place, this keeps the tensioner in the locked position

Cheers
 
I've used extra long ring spanners in the past helps with leverage
