I recently began to hear an intemittent squeaking sound from the enginge compartment. When I opened the hood, it looks like the belt tensioner is the problem (as the sound happens every time I saw the tensioner move). How hard is it to replace? My repair manual says it is not adjustable but doesn't give directions on how to replace it.
