How do you replace the belt idler pulley aka tensioner for the supercharger on a 1998 Buick Regal?
It's pretty straight forward. You will need a 1/2 inch rachet, an 18mm 6 point socket and a cheater bar about 18" to 24" long.
The key to the operation is to know that the bolt is reverse threaded. It loosens by turning to the right (clockwise) and tightens by turning it to the left (counter clockwise). Set the direction of the turn on the rachet. Slip on socket and set it on the bolt. Then slip on the cheater bar over the rachet handle and have at it.

I have a 92 PA with supercharger, so I suspect it would be the same. You need to relax the spring on the tensioner pulley. I found that a ratchet socket wrench will help to do this. Once the tension is released the belt can be slipped off all the other pulleys. There is a diagram on the front of the car to show how a new belt goes back on. You need to relax the tensioner once again to get the belt back on.

These are pressed on pulleys so it is highly advised not to change out the pulley. Your safest bet is to purchase a whole nose cone that already has the pulley size that is needed. We have seen way too many nose drives ruin because people are attempting to use a pulley puller to take it off. Once it is off, you also need to repress it on.

How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 1999 Buick LeSabre?
There is a spring-loaded tensioner pulley that keeps tension on the belt. The tensioner should have a place to fit a ratchet wrench or breaker bar (may or may not need a socket). The tensioner bar rotates clockwise or counterclockwise to release the tension on the belt. Be sure and note how the belt is routed so you will install the new belt in the same pattern. The tensioner is self-adjusting.
