1. Lift the car so you can work from underneath when needed.
2. Disconnect the battery . Just to be safe.
3. Take the serpentine belt off.
4. Remove the alternator.
5. Remove the A/C compressor. (You can do it without removing, but it's a royal PITA... LOL) Don't unhook the lines, just unbolt and move out of the way.
6. Remove the worn tensioner from t he block. (You need to unbolt the pulley first to get to all the tensioner bolts)

pull up on thr idler pulley with a good solid metric wrench and slide it off, once off, check all your pullys for lose bearings especially the alternator...replace the belt too while you at it.

First, note how the drive belt is routed, then use a wrench on the tensioner pulley center bolt and turn the tensioner clockwise (four cylinder engine) or counterclockwise (six cylinder engine) to release the drive belt tension. Remove the drive belt from the tensioner and relax the tensioner. Fit the new belt on the other pulleys, then turn the tensioner again and fit the new belt over the tensioner.

The picture is from a different model, but it is similar to what you are working with.


Hope this is helpful to you.

Hi, this could be because the cam timing is a notch or 2 out. The fact that it quiets down when the engine heats up is because the timing is retarded as the engine reaches operating temperature. You will have to look at the cam timing and make sure that they have done it correctly. If that is fine it might be that they have dropped something, like a bolt or nut into the valve cover when it was removed.
