my 2011 4.4 has a squeal that's gotten worse for the last few months.
I've traced it to the idler above the alternator on the left hand side asy you look under the bonnet.

so I got the part how hard an it be.........

HARD is the answer. had a quick go last night and all I can day is what a pig. gave up.

as far as I can see there is no room at all so you need to remove the
rads
boost hoses and the alloy coolant hose just to get to the 1 bolt holding it on.

good info unfortunately it's not the tensioner that's at fault on mine. it's the idler pulley above the alternator next to the fan drive

Sorry, my mistake, should have read it more carefully.

My squeak was the tensioner.... Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
2025MY Defender D350 90 in Silicon Silver on coils
1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie"
Many, many other Landies over the years
My preferred specialist: www.glenrands.co.uk
--------------------------------------------------

Mine also turned out to be the tensioner but rather than risk doing the job twice I changed both belts, idler & tensioner while I had it in bits

the biggest thing is I cant see how you remove the metal coolant pipe without having to pull the rad

I think you'll find the metal pipe will be the AC line and ISTR it can be moved to allow the fan and shroud removal.

Couple of links to start if I'm on the right job
