Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: Replacing fan belt and tensioner, fan belt, straight answer


Question
Pete,  I emailed GM and got no straight answer.  Is it necessary to disconnect the engine mounts in order to replace a fan belt and tensioner?  I have a 1995 Olds Regency 98. If there's a way to do it without disconnecting the mounts, please let me know.

Thank you, Kathy
