You were probably getting a rumbling noise mostly in the morning before this
happened. That's the normal sign that the tensioner is locked up.
The best way, and yet the only way I would do it is to have is raised in the
air and remove it from the bottom.
I'm sure you could take the wiper assembly and possibly the generator off to
do it if you really have that much time
