I have a 98 Montero Sport, whenever my belt sqeaks I check the tension and usually thats the problem. Tighten them accordingly and it should solve it. As for the timing belt, mine is a belt not chain. First time I had it changed was at 100,000 miles and the dealrship said I was cutting it close ><

you don't have to remove the head to do the timing tension er but will have to do the belt! just get a book and line up the timing marks before you take it apart! good luck

SOURCE: where the tension release for

Hi, on the serpentine belt, the tensioner is the round part that looks like a pulley but is round and smooth has no groves on it. It just rests against the belt to remove the slack and to keep the belt tight as it wears. It will or should be down lower then the alternator. It will have a bolt through it so when you put a wrench on it it will move either way to relieve the tension on the belt to remove it. This will be very easy for you to do. Please don't forget to rate me as I know you will be kind. I will check in on you as I keep all files on people that I help, and you can also keep me posted by my user name below.
