I have searched this forum and I found one guy that was able to wiggle out his eighth generation tensioner without loosening the engine mounts.
Do I really have to jack up the oil pan on my 2005 LE?

Yes. You first have to remove the upper right motor insulator (mount) bolts from the chassis, then jack it a bit under engine oil pan.
PITA.......... Hardest part for me would be finding the right block of wood to protect my oil pan.
Thanks Dom.
I successfully replaced this. Had to undo the motor mount and jack the up the car from the pan a few pumps . Worked perfectly . U can push down on the fender a little also to give it the last little bit of clearance .
Did you use a hydraulic jack?
