Removing the airbox,and lower intercooler tube make it much easier to get a ratchet on the tensioner. I had to do the same to change a belt a few weeks ago. Good luck with the change....

Yes you do have to remove the air box and itntercooler tube, but i wouldn't say its a 2-3 hour job.

got it done,i didn't have to r&r the intercooler tube,i used a 2 piece serp wrench and managed to snake it in from the top/driverside,only took 40 mins
