Do I turn the allen key anti-clockwise to tighten the pulley? Can't remember! Thanks.

So I turn the allen key clockwise while holding the pulley still? Im sure I read you turn the allen key anti-clockwise to tighten though :S

hi mate..

loosen the allen key as normal...anti clockwise
adjust the tension using the larger 22/24mm mm nut
then tighten the allen key up again to hold the tensioner in place.

Ah rite cheers, done it many times before but this time I've loosened it so much I can't tell which way Im meant to be turning the allen key! So hold the pulley with the spanner then just tighten clockwise as per any normal bolt/screw?
