get a tensionier bar from the auto store. Place it the hole or around the nut moves the tensioner, either up or down.
there's only 1 and it located below the alternator. use a 3/4 breaker bar to loosen
The tension bar is the supporting bar that you can loosen to slide the alternator down and remove the belt. Tension on the belt should be 1/4-1/2 inch when pushed on the longest straight run. (Between pulleys)
Put an 18mm wrench on the lower tensioner belt and rotate CCW to loosen the tension. Remove the belt from around the alternator pulley, and slowly release the tensioner. Unwrap the belt from all the pulleys and install the new belt following the belt diagram located near the radiator support. ALWAYS make sure the grooved side of the belt is contacting the grooved pulleys, and the smooth side of the belt is contacting the smooth pulleys (Idler pulleys). Groove to Groove -- Smooth to Smooth

AnswerOn a Z-31 you first remove the power steering belt. It's easiest to do this with an open end wrench as the adjustment stop bolt is a little hard to get to. First loosen the stop bolt located to the lower right of the power steering pump then you can use a deep well socket to loosen up the tension on the belt and remove it. Then loosen the bolt in the center of the idler pulley with the AC belt on it. Above this pulley is a bolt that you loosen to relieve the tension. Remove the tension and the ac belt will come off the pulleys. Simply pull the belt around the fan blade and reverse to reinstall and set tension an belts and that's it.... Chuck
Sometimes it has to be removed, sometimes you can loosen it on one side to be able to slip the belt past to remove and replace it.
