It moves fair bit plenty to get the belt over it’s likely seized.
So… this is the world of trouble bit. The tensioner needs to be assembled with a small smear of coppaslip on the ‘axle part’ and the threads on the end cap. Without it the heat will get to it and Itl seize. Itl shred belts constantly if gummed up like this.
You need a bmw (or equivalent) hex plug + solid spanner and try get the end cap off so you can slide the tensioner off it’s axle. You just want to get the cap off without unscrewing the whole thing. For me, only the whole oily bloody thing would come out, in which case itl need more attention, possibly requiring chopping the arm up in order to retrieve the other parts. See how it goes. If the cap comes off easy you are one lucky SOB
