the standard tensioner is fixed and held on by a couple of bolts and needs to be removed, however most people change this for the trojon horse spring one which you can just push back, so it depends on if this has been changed.

this was on a XB9S. not having worked on a 12 I can't say if this is the same on them.

Cheers Mark.
