Changing Tensioner

I am going to change my tensioner pulley in a day or two and needed to know if there was anything outside of unbolting the 3 bolts and bolting it back in. Do I need Loc-tite? Does anyone know if there are Torque specs on these bolts or not? I have a chirping and want it gone. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

How many miles do you have on your car? My car has 15,000 the belt makes a little noise at start up then none after it warms up. If it's the tensioner have Ford replace it.

RE: Changing Tensioner

13,000. It isquiet at idle but gets louder on accelerationi am sure it is just a premature bearing going out.I would but with the UDP's they would argue that conflicts with the warranty. The part is only $40 it really doesn't seem like a big deal but that is when it usually ends up being one. Just need to know info relating to my first post to be sure.
