John,
Depending on which type of idler is fitted (there were three designs), that method may risk breaking the idler. Mike

We got medieval today. Heat, pounding and jacking were involved, but the key step was tightening the tensioning nut back up with a 3 ft pipe wrench and a 6 ft pipe extension. This actually cracked the tensioning screw loose from its spherical seat bushing and with some more heat and jacking the track off the top of a road wheel with a 20 ton jack, we got the tensioner loose enough in the seat that a quick application of right hand neutral steer would pull the tensioning screw back.
