The tensioner is part of the bracket that holds the power steering pump.
To replace the serpentine belt tensioner:
1. Drain the coolant to a level below the bracket. The bracket seals over a hole in the cylinder block. If you don't drain the coolant it will flood out of that hole.
2. Take note of the routing of the serpentine belt so you know how it goes back on.
3. Release the tension and remove the serpentine belt.
4. Remove the bolts and move the Power Steering pump out of the bracket.
5. Remove the 3 bolts that hold the bracket to the cylinder block. You may need to move the tensioner to get to a bolt behind it.
6. Remove the bracket from the block. It is put on with sealer, no gasket. It may be stuck tight and take some prying to remove.
To put the tensioner back on reverse the above steps. Clean the old sealer off of the cylinder block to get a good seal.
