I need to replace the belt tensioner. How do I get the old one off? The new one just has a long screw on the back--does it just screw into the block and does the old one just rotate off?The repair manual says little but mentions mounting bolts but i sure do not see any mounting bolts.Thanks.

You will need to raise and support the car.Look up from underneath the car, there is a nut holding the tensioner onto the accessory bracket.It is by the power steering pump.
