Hyundai did not use automatic tensioners in 2000. You have a tensioner but it is a manual tensioner. You have to loosen the bolt on the side of the tensioner. Then you turn the other bolt counter clockwise to loosen the bolt which will loosen the tensioner. Then you have to loosen the big bolt that is on the other side of the alternator. You may have to take off your power steering belt to get to the alternator belt. Reverse the procedure to install it. GL

There should be a belt routing diagram under the hood. You need to pivot the tensioner pulley, this is usually done with a 1/2%26quot; drive rachet or breaker bar. Make sure to get a good mental picture of the way things are, to help you when you put the new belt on.
well most are spring loaded now days one toll only make them much easier really but sometimes it doe take two poeple one to pull and hold while the other removes and replaces,,, only a few will have adjusters that you will need to loosen none are hard
loosen the alternater bolts lift of belt put on new belt pull the alternator back tighten bolts leaving half inch movement on both sides of the belt
