Best Answer

The serpentine belt you can look at the diagram in your engine compartment for actual routing.

The tensioner mounts to the left side of the engine. You need to unbolt the whole assembly.

Actually, the belt can be loosened by tightening the bolt of the tensioner pulley. When fully tightened, the pulley will act as a swivel.

Near the top of the serpentine belt path is a belt tensioner; it is spring loaded and has a shinney pulley on it. Insert a wrench into this tensioner and pull against it and the tension will be released so you can replace your belt. I am assuming your question is about the serpentine belt.

What is the procedure to change the serpentine belt tensioner on a 1996 Saturn 1.9L engine?

The procedure for changing the tensioner is to first remove the belt. Remove the two bolts holding the tensioner to the engine block. This may require you to remove the bolts through the wheel well, via the access hole in the firewall. Once the bolts are removed, change out the new tensioner for the old one, and repeat the process in reverse.

It should have an tensioner pulley on it. A spring loaded arm that puts pressure against the belt as it travels. You may need to replace the pulley and spring if it is failing and allowing the belt to slip off.
