top tensioner replacement

This is probably one of those "easy when you know how" situationes. I thought I'd replace one of the top tensioners this evening.

But I don't see how the swivel pin is removed.

Mike on my SV its held in place by a very small keyed circlip, which I dropped into the deepest darkest reaches of the car when I changed mine. The stud then just slides out.

Thanks Derek.

I thought it might be a circlip, but I didn't have good light. Small is right!!

Knowing this , I'll try to pop it off and not loose it.

Thanks
