Tensioner

[Getlow_g]

I'm trying to install the serpentine belt on a 95 atx could you tell me where the tensioner is and why does the belt look like it's going to be to short. I bought the belt from autozone 850k6 is this the right belt? thanks

Ok, I just did this work today as a matter of fact. The tensioner on an ATX is the pulley that is between the Power steering pully and the water pump pulley....it has a 14 mm bolt in the center that you turn right (tighten) to force it downwards and remove the tension from the belt. This is very easy if you take the battery out but is not necessary. If you look on that plastic cover by the radiator, there should be a diagram showing the pulleys and the belt orientation.

As to the right part number, I dont have that handy, but you would be surprized how many pulleys that belt will take care of.
