This very common wear part is easy to inspect and easy to replace if you know how to loosen the drive belt. You do not need to take the belt all the way off - just drop the top down. The free video instructions by Kent will show you how to do this with a deep 17mm socket and breaker bar. OR, if you want to make it real easy check out Kent's customer tensioner release tool below.
