Us a 15 mm wrench to release the tension on the serpentine belt and remove it. Jack up the vehicle and support it on jack stands. With a universal joint and a really long extension, remove the 15 mm nut on the back side to the engine bracket. You cannot see the bolt, you just have to feel for it. Pull the old tensioner out and put the new one in. Tighten the 15 mm nut down reinstall the drive belt.
