There should be a diagram of the pully path under the hood. Look for a pully that doesn't look like a logical place for a powered unit. It will be relatively small compared to the other pullies.

How do you Replace a tensioner on a 3.8 v6 on a 98 Chrysler minivan.?
The tensioner is spring loaded. To remove it is not the easiest of jobs. It is held on by a single 15mm nut. The easiest way to get to it is from under the car. It is located near the power steering pump it is the only nut in that area.
How do you adjust the tension of the serpentine belt on a 1998 Ford Taurus with a 3.0 V6 engine?
You don't. The belt tensioner is spring loaded. If you look very very closely at the tensioner, there are wear-indicator marks that can confirm the belt has stretched beyond its useful life. See "Related Questions" below for more
To loosen the serpentine belt tensioner on a 2002 Ford Mustang do you turn that hex looking head bolt towards the driver side or passenger side?
The hex head looking bolt DOES NOT GET TURNED AT ALL...The tensioner is spring loaded...FIND the CORRECT bolt to release the spring pressure. My daughter has a 1995 Mustang (3.8,v6) the spring loaded belt tensioner has a square hole that should fit to a 3/8 ratchet or extension . Then just attach to a breaker bar and relieve tension ,it helps to have someone you trust hold the breaker bar while you change the belt. Most likely though the tensioner can be locked up due to corrosion inside the bushing /bearing area. In that case buy a new tensioner before performing the belt change. Napa by me has the tensioner for about $30.
How do you adjust the belt tensioner on a Isuzu Rodeo?
If you are refering to the cam belt tensioner, they are spring loaded and self adjusting. The V6 tensioner can lose tension and become very noisy, if this is the case, replace the belt and tensioner. If, however, you have an ealier model, you will have up to 3 manual tensioners. Tightening the bolts on these loosens then tentioner (moves the wheel down) IMPORTANT: Don't forget to tighten the lock nuts when you're done adjusting!! :)

Find the belt tensioner at the top of the belt run; it has a pulley attached to it. Insert a wrench on it and put tension against the spring loaded tensioner. Simply remove the belt and install the new one. Review the belt path before you begin the removal.

There is a spring loaded pulley near the top left side of the engine to the right of the alternator. If you take a ratchet or breaker bar and put it on the nut on the pulley and rotate it counter-clockwise, you will swing the arm and release the belt tension.

How do you release belt tensioner on a vr commodore v6?
The thead on the pully bolt is reversed. Pulling on it with a spanner in the anticlockwise direction will lock up the thread and reduce tension on the pully arm but its spring loaded so you need a friend to help or one hand free to slip the belt off while your holding the pulley back.
How Do you remove and reinstall the serpentine belt tensioner of a 1999 Buick Century?
Assuming it's a typical FWD V6, you need to first remove the serpentine rubber belt that drives the water pump, pwr steering, alternator, AC, etc.Tension on this belt is achieved by the spring loaded idler roller ( the part you want to replace).CAREFULLY insert a pry bar or heavy long screw driver behind the idler puller and press down hard ( need some muscle for this). ..this will relieve the tesion on the belt which will enable you to slide it off whichever pully is easiest. Once the belt is off, let the spring loaded pully relax and then remove the bolts holding the tensioner assmbly to the motor. good luck
