serpentine belt

RE: serpentine belt
I have a 3.8 2002.
The tensioner has a square hole that a bar will fit if it is small enough to fit between the sheet metal of the wheel well and the tensioner. My breaker bar would not fit. No doubt there is a specialized tool for the job.
I solved the problem by using a motorcycle ratcheting tie downstrap. I put it on the tensioner and pulled the tensioner down to remove the tension. I am fortunate to have a backyard buddy lift in the garage and I attached the other end of the tie down to the tire rail.
It is one of those service situations that you would love to meet the designer/engineer that left so little room to do the job.
