I have worked with my 1994 and 1995 models of 900 - presuming the same for newer models. The tensioner is located on theupper end near the firewall. I found it most easily managed by using a 1/2 inch breaker bar.
The tensioner has a spring in it that provides the correct tension for the belt. If it is too loose, replace the tensioner.
find the belt tensioner and use a rachet to oush the tensioner back
The 93 Acclaim has a serpentine belt. The tensioner below the alternator is what keeps the tension. If you have not tension I would replace the belt first and then check the tensioner.
Saab dealer quoted 1 hour to replace the serpentine belt. The cost of the belt was $60 canadian.
