Anyone have a photo of either a removed tensioner or of that side of the engine that clearly shows the location of the mounting bolts? I need to replace the idler pulley on the tensioner, but the mounting bolt(s) is (are) not evident to me using the service CD drawings  Steve

The idler pulley and the tensioner are two different things. Looking at the belt area, the power steering pump pulley is at the top center, the tensioner is to the left of that, and the idler is to the left of the tensioner.

There is an idler pulley ON the tensioner. There is also a stationary idler pulley to the left of it. I am aware of which one I need but am in need of the requested photograph.
Do you happen to have the photo I requested?

The tensioner assembly is sold as one unit with the pulley attached, but if you have the tensioner pulley already and you just want to slap it on, remove the assembly and the bolt is on the other side. On the spare assembly that's sitting at my feet it looks like maybe a 13mm hex bolt.

Thanks for the pic!
All right, where the heck is the mounting bolt/hole for where it fastens to the block? That's what I'm looking for so I can remove the whole tensioner assy.

Its the T40 torx bolt in the middle of the spring (opposite side). There's hardly any room between the bolt head and the strut tower, so you may have to lift the engine and remove the mount on that side. I didn't lift my engine and managed to partially strip the torx head. Here's a picture I snapped real quick:  Its the brass colored bolt. Yours is probably not brass colored (at least anymore) but that's the bolt.
