buy a belt, loosen the tensioner, replace belt
The ac belt has a tensioner that is accessed from below, and takes a tensioner tool to loosen. Remove the serpentine belt, release tension on the ac belt then the belt can come off for replacement.
i think so
Yes, you could. Is it a good idea? Probably not. If the tensioner is worn so must be the chain.
No, it's not hard. There's a spring-loaded tensioner pully on the top of the engine. To make the job easier, get the largest socket wrench you can find or get some help. If your hand or the wrench slips, it shouldn't do any damage but it will scare you. Pull back on the tensioner with the socket wrench, the belt will loosen. Route the new belt exactly like the old one and ease the tensioner back down.
I have a 3.1L and there is just 1 screw that holds the tensioner in place.

Make and model required for an answer.
If it's the 2ltr diesel it has an automatic spring loaded tensioner mounted down below the alternator. A bit tight for space down there if you need to change it.
