It's a spring tensioner on the V6. There's a square hole in the end of the tensioner where a socket drive end will fit. You can then loosen the tension by pressure against the spring.

Plenty of belts can be changed with care without locking tools but I've read that the V6 engine definitely needs dedicated tools before replacing the cam belt?

No it doesn't, if you know what you are doing.
There's a guide on V6 timing belt changes without the locking tools in my sig. Although I've just seen the pictures don't work any more.
I'll investige that.
