I've pulled two tensioners that had the same kind of break.  My friend 
also experienced 2 such failures.   I don't believe it's just a matter 
of using the right technique...  I think it's just a bad design.  Your 
mileage may vary (mileage between valve jobs that is.)   I'm never going 
to put another in one of my Alfas.
