Locate the belt tensioner and pull away from the belt then remove the belt
tessioner at the top
engine size ????
and car model ???
It is a 2002 Saturn SC2. I think it is a 2.2 liter 4 cyl.
I found the belt tensioner, but it would not release. It appears to have a lockdown bolt on top of the pivoting arm, but I couldn't reach it with any of my tools in order to loosen it.
