Would you be wanting to remove it becouse it is making a horible noise by any chance

Get a big spanner and a short scaff bar (for leverage) and lift the pre tensioner. Should slide off the pulleys.

15mm spanner or socket on the tensioner bolt

Release the pressure of the tensioner on the bolt by moving the tensioner wheel up with the socket/spanner then remove the belt from the pulleys

Yep but his other thread is "alternator knackered"

As for the fan being in the way, just work it through the blades. Trust me, it does go with the fan on

I found this thread useful when I was doing my P gasket, serpentine belt had to come off for that:

thanks guys -- yep the alternator is kaput , so need to take it off to get it recond .
belt looks like it needs replacing as well , so just need to remember wish way round the belt goes back on ie over or under the pulleys

the pullies with slots cut in go on the side of the belt with slots cut in, the smooth pullies go around the back of the belt
