Yeap, but the question is why it came out from wheel and you see the belt is already wear out . Probably need to change . I can smell strong burning smell of rubberyou just need a ratchet and stick the male end right there at the arrow and apply force to move the tensioner over to place the belt back on where it should be

it should not come off on it's own, when you have it fully loose check the other pulleys and see if one is loose or floppy, you might have a worn part, the water pump can wear out and start to wobble.Yeap, but the question is why it came out from wheel and you see the belt is already wear out .

Welcome to the Forum from NH.I think it is pretty easy to fix, just push wheel tensioner and put back belt on it
Thank you, I used no original parts, Bought Belt and Tensioner in AutoZone.Here's the first pic turned counterclockwise 90°. When pics are posted, they're much easier to understand if they are properly oriented. And they don't hurt my neck.

probably $200-300 oem belt, tensioner, labor. maybe a little moreThank you, I used no original parts, Bought Belt and Tensioner in AutoZone.
I notice strange thing, that when I took off original tensioner, the bolt which hold tensioner was not tight, it was kind of loose. It did not take any force to unscrew it.
My car was at dealer 2 weeks ago for oil change and apparently dealer is not checking anything at engine. which is scary. Ican imagine if I had this issue at highway.
I'm curious, how much did I save when did it myself?
Anyone knows, how much cost to replace Tensioner and belt at dealer?
