Default Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly

Hello CL,

Has anyone replaced their drive belt tensioner assembly? I bought a kit that has the belt, tensioner assembly, and idler pulley. When I looked at the tensioner assembly, it appears that I would have to remove the alternator and air conditioning pump to gain access to the bolts. Can anyone chime in on this? There aren't any DIY videos and/or instructions anywhere. Please Help!!!!

you can get to the bolts if you have access to a lift , better to get to it from underneath car

you can use this as a reference, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-is-250-a.html

Thank you for the reply,

It looks like i'd have to go to the right of the water pump. Although its great reference, but its appears as if the bracket is sandwiched in between either the alternator and/or the air conditioning pump. I"m not too sure. I just don't want to start disassembling components if it's not necessary. Basically, looking for an easier way out of this.
