You take a floor Jack with a piece of wood on the Jacks head and put it under the engines oil pan and Jack it up till it touches the oil pan tightly.Turn the wheels to the right then remove the foward splash panel.Then remove the 5 nuts to the upper engine mount Jack the engine up a little bit then remove the mount.Then Jack the engine up to gain acess to the tenisor get a wrench put it on the bolt holding the pulley push your wrench down the remove the belt.Now remove the top bolt holding the tensior then lower the engine down and remove the bottom bolt and tensior.Reverse directions to install the new tenisor.
