just did one on neighbors 96 ick, 3.1 cent not 3.8 like your park ave...tensioner was frozen, wouldn't move to get belt slack...just removed the center bolt from the tensioner arm and prayed that the bolt would not mess up/crack the threads of the supporting housing as the end came out...it didn't, probly cause there was almost zero tension being applied, idler pulley could be turned inside the serp belt by hand...but if the serp belt was in high tension, would have cut the belt rather than risk the housing

It's a GM, can't be that difficult. Normally a 14mm or 5/8
