    3 bolts hold the tensioner bracket on. Just be careful not move that much and break one of the plastic coolant elbows.

    Buy a set of elbows and change them when you pull the bracket. $4 is worth not having a leak when you are done.

    The third bolt is out of sight. Reach your hand back on that bracket and feel where it continues past the heater hose a bit.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
