    you don't loosen anything. Get a 15mm socket on your breaker bar on the tensioner bolt and pull back (if i remember correctly, if not just do it the other way) these tensioners are spring loaded.

    Yeah, it is the pulley under the alt. IIRC...and you push the 15mm wrench or breaker bar towards the firewall...
