Do you need to remove it or just release the pressure on the belt? To do the latter, just insert a 3/8 inch drive ratchet into the square hole above the pully and push toward the rear of the car. Not sure how to remove it, but this is the first step.
Use a 1/2 or 3/8 breaker bar to relieve tension on belt tensioner to remove and replace belt - the automatic belt tensioner is the only adjustment
1st remove the pully then you will see the bolts to remove the housing good luck
Remove the belt, then remove the bolt in the center of the spring tensioner with a 15mm wrench, install new one
usually you don't. Use a socket wrench with an extra long handle or "breaker bar". Turn in the direction indicated on the tensioner, and the tensioner will move enough for you to remove the belt. Once the belt is off, you can remove the tensioner if you have to.
there are two tensioners, the serpentine tensioner and the timing belt tensioner. the timing belt tensioner is behind the timing belt cover ;)
Replace belt tensioner. Three 13mm bolts in a triangular pattern, after you remove belt of course
Remove the serpentine belt and remove the alternator. The belt tensioner bolts are under the alternator.
Put a ratchet on the tensioner pulley bolt... set your ratchet on "loosen" turn the tensioner pulley and assembly upword... hold it there and remove the belt... DO NOT LET GO OF THE RATCHET AFTER YOU REMOVE THE BELT slowly let the tensioner pulley move back to a resting position...
Tensioner should be removable and replaceable by single mounting bolt are you referring to the belt tensioner on engine?if so. remove tensioner,buy a new one, and replace. this is not a big job. you will also need to replace belt at same time
Well, on my 91 you have to move the belt tensioner off the belt by placing a 14mm wrench on the nut and move the tensioner off the belt. Remove the belt, release tensioner. Re-install in reverse order. Hope that helps.
there is no repair for a belt tensioner. just buy a new tensioner. remove old belt, remove old tensioner, it is held on with one bolt. install new tensioner. install new belt
