Yeah...install a new one. :)
You "can" try to break the rust free in the spring though - use some PB
Blaster (or whatever penetrating oil you have) and spray it into the
tensioner spring. Move the tensioner back and forth a few times and see if
it loosens up.

Subject: DML: Belt Tensioner
I was wondering if there is any way to tighten up the belt tensioner on my
'97 318.
I just installed a new belt and tensioner and it squeaks like crazy now.
I've tried belt dressing on it and it helps at idle but, as soon as you put
the motor under a load or turn on the a/c it squeaks.
Thanks, Hop
