How do I replace the belt tensioner on this vehicle. The tensioner seems to have come apart but is still in position although cocked to one side so that ;the fan drags on part of it.

Hello -

I have attached a pick for you. First remove the belt. The tensioner is only held on by two bolts. Remove them and install the new. Install the belt and you are good to go.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Raise tensioner by turning counterclockwise, then remove belt.
Install new belt over pulleys, then raise tensioner and slide belt underneath. Release tensioner to rest pulley on belt.
