Usualy the tensioner is sold as an assembly-meaning you wouldn't just be replacing the pulley as the springs tend to weaken as often as the bearings going out. If you hear a noise and belt is not rotton/loose and are sure it is the pulley, after you have replacement, note belt routing. Use a socket that fits pulley bolt and move right against spring tension. If left req'd use pry bar. use uppermost tensioner to make it easier. Have helper (or use other hand) to get belt off. Remove old tensioner from block and add new. Replace belt.
To change the alternator belt on a 1996 Chrysler Sebring, first, disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Loosen the tensioner pulley by turning the tensioner bolt with a wrench, which will relieve tension on the belt. Remove the old belt, then install the new belt following the correct routing path as indicated on the engine's belt diagram. Finally, reapply tension to the belt by tightening the tensioner pulley and reconnect the battery.
To change the tension pulley on a 1993 Chrysler New Yorker, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Locate the tensioner assembly, then use a wrench to rotate the tensioner arm counterclockwise to relieve tension on the serpentine belt. Remove the belt from the tension pulley, then unbolt the pulley from the tensioner assembly and replace it with the new pulley. Finally, reattach the belt, ensuring it's properly routed, and reapply tension to the belt by releasing the tensioner arm.
To loosen a tension pulley on a 1991 Chrysler New Yorker, turn the nut in the center of the pulley. This will allow the pulley to slide in the cut-out groove so that the belt will loosen.
On a 1997 Chrysler Sebring, the tensioner pulley is located on the front of the engine, typically near the serpentine belt. It is mounted on the engine block and is responsible for maintaining tension on the serpentine belt that drives various accessories. To access it, you may need to remove any components obstructing your view, such as the engine cover or other belts. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific details and guidance.
It is on the front of the crank, under the pulley and timng chain.
A guide pulley helps to change the direction of a moving belt or cable, while a tension pulley is used to maintain the proper tension in the belt or cable.
The tension on a serpentine belt is automatically set by the Idler Tension Pulley. If you find it is not correctly setting the tension, the the spring may be broken.
To replace the serpentine belt on a 2002 Chrysler Sebring, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Locate the tensioner pulley and use a wrench or ratchet to rotate it counterclockwise, which will relieve tension on the belt. Remove the old belt and route the new belt according to the belt routing diagram usually found on a sticker under the hood. Finally, reapply tension by releasing the tensioner and double-check that the belt is properly seated on all pulleys.
you have to push down on the tension pulley, then you would get slack in the belt
With a self adjusting tensioner pulley, there is no adjustment for tension.

Assuming you have a serpentine belt on that 3.3L engine, the tension on the alternator would be controlled by the idler (tension) pulley. The alternator is stationary.
