tensioner assembly removal
i can't seem to get it off...i removed the alt., removed the other two bolts holding it in, and i tried pulling on it for a while, and it just won't budge. any tips? is there a spot i can hit it or pry it to get it loose? other threads just said to pull it gently, but i really am not getting it at all. thanks in advance for any help

i was removing the whole tensioner assembly cuz it didn't match up with the motor. the belt is routed slightly differently cuz the power steering pump is located toward the back a little bit more. this causes the belt to rub on one of the heater hose bolts and rub a nice trench into it and probably right through it within 20 miles of driving...but the other one (the 99 lesabre one) doesn't fit either; well it does, but i'd need a different alternator...so i guess i have to swap where the power steering pump mounts.
