We were able to remove the top/upper bolt from the old tensioner; but cannot locate/see/reach and hence undo the bottom bolt to remove the tensioner. Any suggestions?
Tensioner for a/c belt, alternator, timing belt? you need to be more specific...

heavier oil if you are not in a cold climate. but before you do that have the oil pressure checked. We used to use a can of STP every once in a while on a motor in a dodge we had... nothing wrong with it... was just noisy.

Your correct, does hinge on top bolt and then is ussually stiff pulling from pin, but it will move

That pulley is the tensioner pulley. It is either manual or automatic. If it is a manual tensioner, the bracket that it is attached to it should have a square hole located on it bracket somewhere. This whole will look inoculous, but will be offset from the pulley. If you have a 3/4" socket wrench, you'll notice it fits nicely into this hole.
You use this hole (and the wrench) to twist the whole bracket and apply tension while you tighten the bracket itself down.
An automatic tensioner will have a spring inside and would pretty much work by itself when a belt of the proper length is installed. Your Hanynes manual would have already alerted you to how to adjust an automatic tensioner.
I hope that helps.
BTW, the tensioner pully usually rests on the back (flat) side of the belt and has no device attached to it.
