3.3 Belt Tensioner Removal

Is there a good documented procedure to remove a broken belt tensioner on a 1993 Plymouth Voyager with a 3.3?

I have a subscription to Alldata, but this procedure is not documented, at least that I can tell. I want to be ready for the next time it breaks.

Does removing the right splash shield make it any easier?

Thanks,

Kirk Matheson

This is how I did it assuming yours has the internal reservoir power steering pump like my 95 Grand Caravan and not the external reservoir pump like my 92 Dynasty. (With the belt removed) underneath the back of the engine remove the brace that runs between the back of the pump and the engine block then remove the single nut that holds the tensioner on. As usual reassembly is the reverse order just make sure you get the dimple on the new tensioner lined up with the hole in the power steering bracket before you tighten that nut back down or the belt tension won't be correct.
