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.

Actually you don't have to do all of that. I just replaced one from the top. On the passenger side of the engine where the belt is, you will see the tensioner in the middle. Using a larger breaker bar with the socket that fits the bolt in the middle of the wheel, force the tensioner toward the front of the car to release pressure to remove the belt. I think it was a 15mm but can't remember for sure. I do know they are all metric sizes on that engine. The tricky part is to remember how the belt is routed. If you forget, see the diagram below. There isn't much room to work, but I'm proof that it is possible. When putting the new best on, route all pulleys and leave the alternator for last since it's right on top and easy to get to. Good luck and be patient. It's doable.
