There should be a place on the tensioner to stick a 3/8 drive ratchet, unload the tensioner, off with the old and on with the new.
Forgot to mention in front of my serpentine belt is the a seperatie drive belt for the A/C and goes around the fan.
Man, I have a 1985 Ford Ranger 2.3L and I am wondering the exact same thing. I looked and looked but I can't find it. I need to know how to release tension on both serpentine belts and I don't see a place that I can stick a 3/8 ratchet. It doesn't seem like it has a automatic tensioner. Can anyone help with some instructions?
loosen the altenator and it will swing down and release the tension on that belt.... for the other belt you loosen the A/C compressor...
