3.8 belt tensioner assembly

Does anyone know how to take off the entire belt tensioner assembly on a 98 3.8 camaro? It has water hoses going threw it with some clamps that don't look like the best of shape. Thank you

From what my picture looks like, it appears that there are 4 bolts holding it on. As far as the coolant elbows go, I wouldnt worry about breaking them when they come out. We sell them at Napa. The plastic replacements are $4 and the aluminum ones are $12.

Re: 3.8 belt tensioner assembly

Like 4 bolts then just pry it off, the crappy original hose clamps can be replaced with front drive heater hose fittings like pictured here. Easy to do.
