| Does anyone have a service guide they could scan the page from or post simple instructions? Just looking at it I can't see how it comes off. I'm sure it's going to be involved. Thanks in advance. | |

| I need to replace the actual tensioner on my 97. Been lucky to have made it through the winter. | |

Hopefully, that link will help you - but again, there are TWO tensioners on a supercharged motor...  | |

please have a look at the write up Eldo pointed to, and please be aware that those *#&$(@#* plastic elbows (with their o-rings) are now available through NAPA dealers if you are replacing your accessory tensioner and bust yours or the replacement tensioner comes without (but it will take a good counterpoerson to find them)... You won't need unusual tools or unusual contortions to get the job done.

| Albert makes a good point... (note that he's talking about the 'rear' or 'accessory' tensioner.) | |
