Answer
It's just about in the middle of the engine just a little bit towards the firewall. They're a real pain in the rear to change. I just did mine last month on my 02 and it took me over an hour. Make sure you put the belt over the tensioner before you put the new one on. You'll have to take it out from the bottom of the engine also. There's not enough room to bring it out the top. There are only two bolts that hold it on and IIRC they're 10mm. There's also not quite enough clearance to get the bottom bolt completely out, so you'll have to insert it into the new one before installation. My arms looked like I'd been in a fight with a bobcat once I finished. But the new belt and tensioner did take care of the thumping sound under the hood. Together for the belt and tensioner from Advance auto parts, I spent just a tad under $100. The stealership wanted over $300 to do the job.
