Hello!! Why would you release the tension of your timing belt? Is it because you hear noises? NB. If noises are heard after changing a timing belt or tightening of a timing belt, the reason for this noise is that your Idler and tensioner bearing should have been change at the same time of changing belt. A timing Kit if purchased would include both bearings and belt. Good luck.

Does a 2000 Toyota Celica GTS have a timing chain If so how often do you replace it?

If it has the 3sge engine (most have) it has a timing BELT. This belt should be changed every 100,000 km or 60,000 miles. It is really a specialist job for a trained mechanic.

There isn't one. The tension for the serpentine belt is an automatically spring loaded tensioner on top of the engine in the front. Place a 3/8 inch ratchet in the square slot of the tensioner arm and pull it back to releive tension on the belt. Then when you put the new belt on pull it back to get it on the pullies then release it to tension the belt.
