1996 buick skylark custom 3.1 v6
how do I replace the tensioner pulley, I know the basic "bolt it on" but is a very tight space I can not get a serp tool into. The old one busted off and I cant even pull it out because the space is too tight. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jack engine up un that side might need to remove mount might not. Use a piece of wood and a floor jack.

Strut tower is in the way, id have to go up about 6-8 inches. Would this mean other disconnections so as not to damage anything

You may have to disconnect a few things. Lift the engine slowly so you can watch if anything needs disconnected.
