Answer 1

3.3L, 3.8L belt tensioner is removed by taking the one nut off from the back side of the accessory drive mount, from the bottom back side, you will need a 15mm socket, a swivel joint and a long extension w/ breaker bar. Access it from below through the opening between the axle and oil pan. It is not to easy, but it will usually come loose fairly easy.
