If it didn't, then I'd be concerned about it's ability to maintain tension, maybe it was sticking or gunked up, and maybe moving back and forth might clear it for now, but how long till it got stuck again. Mine had plenty of tension, and with the belt not there, it swung past it's normal position. I did't know there was a noise issue with the belt, and I forgot that AC was optional on some Matrixes.I don't know aout repressurizing the tensioner, I assumed it was a spring device. I bought a replacement belt from AdvanceAuto, Autozone, I forget which or who made it. wrench or ratchet depends on what you have, I have a ratchet that is longer than any of my wrenches, so I used that.I was not fearful of breaking the bolt. The real difficulty is that there's not much clearance between the pulleys and the side of the engine bay, difficult to get hands where they need to go.
