On the N55 you don't actually have to remove the fan. I just did all my idlers, tensioner and drive belt with the fan in place.
Just remove the snorkel (T20), pop the caps off the pulleys, draw a diagram of the belt routing, then grab a T60, breaker bar and 3.5mm drill bit or allen key and untension the belt and slip the drill bit into the hole to hold the tensioner in place.
T50 for the bolts securing the idlers (56Nm)
T50 also for the tensioner (38Nm)

You deserve a STAR if you did it without removing the fan and shroud!
I need to get this done, and I dread laying on my back on a cold garage floor removing the engine cover.
