Look on your hood.

Then replace your drive belt.

Tensioner assembly should be like 2-3 bolts maximum.....

OWNED! hah

well best bet is to take a picture of the belt position first.

and then you can start working on it.

simple as... turn the tensioner.. so the belt is loose.. remove belt.. and unbolt the tensioner.

and then do the opposite.
