How do you remove the belt idler and tensioner? I seems like I have to lift the motor up a bit to be able to fully remove the bolt from the tensioner and nut from the idler...

I have done belt kit installation on 1.6 Engine and didn't have to lift the engine. Just removed the passenger side engine support to get full access to the belt area. I think you just spring it back and remove it. It's been a while. Also, don't forget to change the water pump while you're in there, good measure.
