Does anyone know where I can get a how-to on changing the front belt(pass. side)? I've read that this is more simple than an oil change and such, so I think I am completely capable of doing it myself. But, I've never done a belt before and I def. do not want to mess anything up. Anyone know of some help anywhere? I've looked at the car several times and the only thing that I am questionable on is the tensioner. I'm sure it is the silver thing in the middle of the belt routing, but I just want to make sure I have read up on it 100% before I tear into anything. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! 1998 Duratec by the way!

No pics but this thread has some good info.

and the routing should be on the passenger side strut tower but if yours does not have it.

The tensioner is the silver looking "lever" with the square hole.

Edit. Don't cross post.
