Best Answer

I am assuming your car has the 3800 motor. The belt tensioner is remover by first taking off the serpentine belt by using a large socket or a belt tensioner wrench on the pulley bolt and turning CLOCKWISE to release tension on the belt. Remove the belt from the pulley and either leave hanging or remove. Slowly let the tensioner return to its former place (It is spring loaded, be careful not to let it snap back). Once it is slack simply remove it by pulling out the attaching bolts to the pulley bracket and install your new unit. Replace the belt by using your socket wrench and pulling back on the pulley and performing the earlier belt removal procedure in reverse.
