For my 1999 Sable it is a Torx 15mm. I got one from O'Reilly and this is what they claimed is the correct tool. I was able to loosing the bolt on the tensioner, but the torx socket was somewhat loose. Captainjack75040

I had a guy buy the front seats from my 98 Explorer Sport to install in his Ranger. The bolt patterns lined up but there was no room to recline the seats, had to be installed sitting straight up. Instead, he sold them to his friend with an extended cab Ranger. Fit perfectly. The wiring for the drivers power seat was the same also. Should be the same in a '99. Good luck.
the tensioner has a torx head bolt that comes in from the backside of it, you need to remove the belt and access the torx head bolt from underneath.... it is easier to have someone hold the new tensioner in place while you start the bolt back in and tighten it
