Bobcat E10 track tensioner

[Polecat]

Checking a few things on the E10 while I was doing the greasing the other day & found the right side track to be a tad out on the tension whipped it up with the grease gun, then the left track was a little more its about a 33mm gap to middle roller.
But I can't get the gun on the nipple, it seems like the ram cylinder has spun a little & the nipple is jammed against the bottom metal plate of the access hole.
Is there any way I can spin it back round a bit without having to take the track off, access to the ram seems pretty restricted, ive tried to spin it a bit (carefully) with a small pry bar, but it doesn't want to move, ive not released any tension to the track as yet, as I didn't want to find out i couldn't spin the ram cylinder after releasing the grease, then I can't tension it back up.
As it is now, the machine is still usable

Catch 22. Unlikely to move unless you release tension.

Should only be a half hour job even if track needs to come off.

Yep thought so.
I cant see a decent place to pry on the cylinder to spin it, when i release the pressure.
It does beg the question though, why has it twisted in the first place, has a peg snapped or retaining bolt come out, crap or stones getting lodged in the tracks & push it out of line.
I was just looking for a 5 min quick fix eh
