Easiest way I've done is loosen the alternator.... I was able to get it back in without messing with the tensionor. I'm a big guy though 5'11 220... the proper way is to loosen the tensionor which is with he power steering pump bracket. Usually a little sticky if it hasn't been done in a while. That's on my 90.... should be same.

On my 93 4.0, don't know what motor you have, my power stearing pump is the tensioner. 2 bolts in back by gas lines and 2 in front. Loosen them and there is a bolt on the airbox side of power stearing pump that is the tensioner bolt.

Same as my '92. The above diagram must be for a later model vehicle.
