right, for the 4 liter,

1. Loosen the rear power steering pump mounting bolts using a ratchet and 13mm socket or a 13mm box wrench.
   
2. Loosen the pump upper pivot bolt, lower locknut and the pump adjusting bolt using a ratchet and 13mm socket or a 13mm box wrench.

For the V8

1. Attach a socket or wrench to the pulley mounting bolt on the automatic tensioner and rotate the tensioner assembly clockwise until the tension has been removed from the belt.
   
2. Remove the belt from the idler pulley first and then from the vehicle.

I'm going to assume you have either a four cyl or an inline 6cyl...The tension is provided at the power steering pump. Loosen the fasteners and look underneath. There is a "jack bolt" that is just under the pump that faces the left fender. Screwing it in or out moves the pump and adjusts belt tension.

If for any reason the pulley is in your way, remove the pump not the pulley. Alternator is on the other side of the engine...why remove it? The pump is the adjustment for the belt. (loosen bolts and use the transverse bolt underneath to adjust tension)

On some Jeeps the tension is held by the alternator adjustment and there may be no tensioner pulley. See if the alternator bolts into an adjustable arm mount. If so - loosen the alternator and rotate it to release the tension.

check the rear brakes. Possible they are out of adjustment or worn shoes.

the 4.0 didn't come with a spring type tensioner if look under the p/s pump there is a jack bolt hooked to a idler pully loosen nut on front of pully and lossen up the jack bolt till you can get the belt off

there is no tension adjustment if the arm is too loose and dosen't put enough pressure on the windshield you need to replace the arm you can bend the center of the arm very slightly and get a little more tension BUT the arms are over 15 years old and teh springs are probably weak

If you have the same pulley arrangement that most 4.0 engines have that pulley is an idler not a tensioner. Your power steering pump has a pivot bolt, and a slide under the pump. You adjust belt tension using the pump.

it should have an automatic tensioner if belt is loose then it needs to be replaced
