manowar77 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Its easy but not much room! Start with to take out the battery, then use a 1/4" socket wrench to loosen the belt from the square hole in the tensioner,pull of the belt, loosen the tensioner from the engine (one screw 13 mm)! Then install the new one! Roger Martinsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
