Does this pin have to be removed prior to installation on the mounting flange?

If I remember correctly, you can remove it before or after installation.

It shouldn't matter but probably easier to leave in place so you can take the pressure off it easier with ratchet or breaker bar etc.

It wouldn't budge, even with a breaker bar. It was tightening the pulley bolt. I put the tensioner in a vice and pulled the pin out
