its easy. You'll need to jack up the engine from the oil pan, use a block of wood on a jack or something. Loosed the TA mount, (5) 15mm

Get the wheel liner off and let the engine all the way down till it bottoms on the subframe. Put a 14mm wrench on the tensioner and twist clockwise. Take the belt off. Then take the bottom 10mm bolt out of the tensioner. Jack the engine back up and take out the top 10mm bolt. Swap out the tensioner bolt it back opposite you unbolted. route the belt around everything and do the 14mm wrench on the tensioner thing one more time. Then jack the engine back up and put on the 3 nuts that hold the mount to the engine. Line up the mount with the studs on the frame and gently let it the engine down. Tighten up those last two nuts and you are set.


NOTE: You might not HAVE to do all the jacking up and down with the engine but it sure will make it easier. There is practically no room right there and I find jacking the engine up helps get it out much easier.

Agreed.

Put some wood or a dirty towel between the jack and the oil pan. The jack pad can rip holes in the oil pan.

Not the best choice of jacks, but if it fits under the car compressed and you can fit a board between it and the oil pan you should be ok. Don't think you have to mess with the lower mount to do this job.

[SupraCharged007]

the engine will sit on the frame, no big deal. And I wouldn't rec. using a bottle jack. If you have to, you MUST use a piece of wood or something on top of it. A rag isn't going to relieve enough of the stress

A Haynes manual will do nicely though [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif[/img]

Any reson you would need an oem one? I like the plastic dayco one I just got.

You must be thinking of the timing chain tensioner, in which case the OEM one is the only one worth getting. I don't think the serpentine tensioner matters as much.

i would hope they wouldn't make a timing chain tensioner out of plastic

I was wondering why he said the OEM one was the way to go in the first post. [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/confused.gif[/img]
