No special trick. But I do remember that I leave the wrench on the adjuster until I get the new belt installed. Good luck-the first time you do it will take a little time.

On the passenger's side of the engine down low there is a tensioner. It is a pulley mounted to a spring loaded arm. On the arm of that tensioner, there is a square hole to insert a small breaker bar or a ratchet. Insert the tool and use it to lever the tensioner and release the tension.

To replace the sepentine belt you have to first find the tensioner. You should have a diagram under the hood, on top of the radiator that can tell you which one is the tensioner and how the belt suppose to be hooked up to the different pulleys. When you find the tensioner, you have to use either a rachet or a wrench to release the tension to pry the belt out. You can also go to autozone.com and get more info about this.

If you are attempting to replace the alternator how do you release the belt tensioner on a 1988 Oldsmobile 98?

The alternator is sitting on a guide. It is held on it by a bolt. All you have to do is loosen that bolt and the belt pressure sould realese. Look around for a wheel that is touching the belt but appears to have no other purpose...this is the tensioner. Use a long handled wrench on the nut in the middle of the tensioner. there should be a diagram under the hood, in front of the radiator, that will show belt routing and show where the tensioner is...

If it's the timing belt tensioner then you have to loosen the tensioner bolt and then use a 1/4 inch hex bit and turn the tensioner clock wise. Be sure to turn the tensioner only counter clockwise to retension and align the 2 pointers. The alternator or serpentine belt tensioner requires a 13 mm wrench to turn the tensioner counter clockwise to release the tension.
