    Remove the two bolts that secure the power steering reservoir and move it out of your way, draw your self a map of the fan belt routing, release the belt tensioner by placing a ratchet head or breaker bar in the appropriate point in the tensioner itself, remove the tensioner center bolt, remove the inner fender plastic liner for more space to work, remove the tensioner and assemble in reverse labor rate is just under two hours.

    Good question. I will know by tomorrow, but I think it is a T35. I also think it is right hand threads. I will let you know if this is wrong.
