To re-install a belt tensioner for a 1987 Ford Taurus, tighten the bolt when the tensioner pulley is holding the serpentine belt tight. The belt tensioner sits in a slot and can be adjusted to hold the belt tight.
there are two tensioners, the serpentine tensioner and the timing belt tensioner. the timing belt tensioner is behind the timing belt cover ;)
where is the tensioner for the serpentine belt on a 2004 ford ranger
If you look carefully at the tensioner, you will see a square slot drive. Insert a ratchet in there and turn it. Can't remember if up or down, but you will see the tensioner slack enough to remove the belt.
release the tensioner with a 1/2 in braker bar or ratchet and work the belt out.
Remove the belt by using a 3/8 ratchet in the belt tensioner below the alternator. Insert the ratchet into the tensioner and push to loosen the belt. When the belt is loose, remove it from the alternator. Remove the electrical connections from the alternator. Then remove the 3 mounting bolts. The alternator should now be diaconnected from the engine. Installation is the reverse.
Disconnect the battery. Rotate the belt tensioner to release the belt. Have a helper remove the belt while holding the tensioner. Replace the belt, putting the new one on over the pulleys in the same direction. The tensioner can now be released.

Tensioner should be removable and replaceable by single mounting bolt are you referring to the belt tensioner on engine?if so. remove tensioner,buy a new one, and replace. this is not a big job. you will also need to replace belt at same time
