if you look at it you should understand how, but basically, you take off the nut from the bolt that passes through the plastic triangle the shock and spring are attached to. put your lug wrench into the hole on top of the triangle, then release pressure so the bolt will slide toward the head. then release the spring pressure, and reach down and wiggle the tensioner and then spin the pulley.
if you feel gritty or side to side play in either, you need to replace them.
both should feel totally smooth and have 0 play side to side.
