I belive on the SR the outter belt tensioner is located underneath the ps pump.There should be 2 bolts. 1 bolt is the bolt that you loosen to either tighten or loosen the belt, and the other bolt is used to keep the belts firm in place.

The Inner belt, I belive is Located underneath the alternator. Same thing as above. There should be 2 bolts...

I just replaced my belt last week, The inner one was getting torn real bad. and when I took off the outer belt, I noticed cracks. So I changed that aswell. Its always best to change them both while your at it, It doesnt hurt to, and it saves time in the future if that belt were to ever go out.
