Tensioners are used to tighten the belt on the engine so where ever your belt is (usually on the front of the engine) is where the tensioner will be located. There are generally 2 types of tensioners - on the older vehicles the alternator is used as the tensioner, there may be a bolt that you will loosen and tighten to adjust it. On the newer vehicles the tensioner looks like a pully and it is spring loaded, it will have a square hole in the center of it you can use either a breaker bar or a 1/2 inch drive socket wrench depending on which one you can get in there with. You will need to pull the tensioner the opposite direction of the belt to release the tension on the belt.
