If you're referring to the inlet camshaft sprocket bolts Steve, they don't need to be touched either to replace the tensioner pulley or, in fact, when replacing the timing belt.
Most importantly, do you have the INA set-up procedure for the tensioner pulley?

Thanks for the quick reply Simon,
I'll try easing the caps off as you explained( fingers crossed).

I do have the INA procedure for tensioner pulley, that was the reference from beinet1 thread i mentioned, it states to assemble the pulley need to fit locking tools, which i have got but not fitted yet, fit crank timing pin(done), fit tensioner plunger and slacken camshaft bolts.
