I have a Ford Escort with a zetic engine 1.6 1996, the serpentine belt tensioner is the free running pully that runs the belt between the crank wheel and the higher pully. its spring loaded, place a 14 or 15 mm ring spanner and move it has tigtenning the bolt. it must be done from the bottom as from the top there is no space. to have access to it you need to turn the wheel outwords and remove a plastic cover. on the rebuild fit the belt on the pullies except the AC one, bottom most pully at the front, then push the tensinoner back and place the last pully on. its spring loaded keep hands save.
