I have a 2003 Sport, AWD, V8. Tensioner pulley bearings failed. It was bad long enough that I was unable to just replace the pulley. The shaft on the tensioner was worn. FYI, the pulley is only $20 from auto parts store. To remove, bolt is reverse thread - righty, loosey.
I purchased an aftermarket tensioner from autoparts store for about $55.
To replace:
1. Disconnect ground from battery - 10mm socket
2. Pull front skid plate - 4 bolts, 12mm socket
3. remove plastic engine cover plate - 2 nuts, 10mm socket
4. remove air intake from airbox to engine - loosen 2 clamps on either end with 10mm socket. remove vacuum hoses and set aside
5. remove serpentine belt, if not removed already. use 14mm socket on pulley and pull to left (ccw) to remove tension
6. Next remove the timing belt cover, there are two pieces. The left side has 3 bolts and 1 nut, 10mm (pictured). The right side has 2 bolts, 12mm (not pictured, but just to the right of the tensioner).
7. Remove tensioner fasteners - 1 bolt and 3 nuts, all 12mm. One nut shares a stud with alternator. (I put arrow by wrong nut, arrow on lowest left nut, should actually point to one just above and to left). The one I'm pointing to is strictly a alternator fastener.
8. Remove alternator fasteners - 1 bolt (accessed from below), and 1 nut from top side of alternator, both 14mm. The third nut (12mm) is shared with the tensioner and was removed in step 7.
9. Remove power steering pump fasteners - 2 bolts and 1 nut, all 14mm. Access through the hole in the power steering pulley.
10. slide power steering pump toward front of vehicle. Slide alternator off stud shared with tensioner. Pull out tensioner.
11. Assemble in reverse.
I have more photos available if more detail is needed.
