The service manual isn't very clear on the remove and replace process.
It just says:
1. remove drive belt,
2. remove auto tensioner pulley.
Then installation is reverse order of removal.

Below is a video showing the process of removing this tensioner.

Hope this helps and let us know how this repair goes.
