98 Dakota Sport 3.9. I need to change out the alternator but I'm having
trouble with the tensioner. I use a 15mm socket on the center pulley
bolt but instead of the tension being released, the bolt just gets
tighter. I'm afraid I will snap the bolt. Am I not doing something
right? I've never heard of a tensioner freezing up.
