How do I fix a tension clamp on my Dodge Ram?

Answer by  seetha15 (31)

First, remove the surpentine belt and then find the bolts that secure the tensioner, once you remove the bolts, the tensioner will come off easily. Now, to access the tensioner, sometimes the other components will have to be removed. To fix the problem, replace both the tensioner and the belt.

If this is about your surpentine belt system, remove the belt first. Next, locate the bolts that secure the tensioner. Remove those, and the tensioner should come off easily. Sometimes other components will have to be removed to access the tensioner. Replace the tensioner, replace the belt, and you this should fix the problem.

By tension clamp I'm assuming a belt tensioner is the part in question. Remove belt then remove in most cases 1 bolt in center of pulley and remove tensioner.
