You have to remove the right splash shield first. Also replace tensioner at same time tighten tensioner mounting bolt to 33 ft. Lb Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Recommended blet and tensioner replacement is 60K so you are way overdue. But have it scanned for codes and check fuelpressure with a gauge first. Autoparts rent it.
