Accessory belt tensioner on ATX squealing

[NoSlo]

Subject says it all. My 1993 ATX has developed a squealing chirpy squeaky sound that usually goes away after the car has warmed up. I have tracked it down to being the accessory belt (serpentine belt) tensioner on my ATX (one belt, one spring loaded tensioner all you MTX guys) by putting a couple drops of oil into the pulley and the noise goes away for a while. I have the helms manual and it says nothing about the tensioner replacement procedure or parts, and also searched the forums. Has anyone had to replace this thing, and what's involved? Are springs going to fly if I try to unbolt this thing? Thanks for your help.
PS. No u-pull wrecking yard sho's around here...

Place a WTB, someone should have one laying around. It is a self-contained unit and is very easy to change out. Good luck. Check the upper and lower idler pulleys while the belt is out. The lower idler is notorious for having bearing failures on high mileage motors.
