1996 buick skylark custom 3.1 v6
how do i replace the tensioner pulley, i know the basic "bolt it on" but is a very tight space i can not get a serp tool into. The old one busted off and i cant even pull it out because the space is too tight. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Strut tower is in the way, id have to go up about 6-8 inches. Would this mean other disconnections so as not to damage anything

You may have to disconnect a few things. Lift the engine slowly so you can watch if anything needs disconnected.
