Trying to replace the alternator. Can't see how to lossen the tensioner. Sure could use some advice.

 

Reaching over the passenger side fender, pull the fan belt towards you at the same time push the lever at the bottom of the idler tensioner pulley. The lever will press into place and keep the belt loose. Replace alternator. To tension the belt, be sure that it is alined on all the pullies, then pull the belt as above and the lever will release allowing tension on the belt. My explanation is poor but it's not hard to do at all. The tensioner pulley is the one just below the alternator, follow the belt.

 

+1 what he said

this is how I do mine to easy no tools required

 

Kinda tight in there. Do you remove the fan shroud or something else to get your hands and arms in there?

 

Nope, just reach on in

 

Got it! Thanks!
