Default Is it possible to adjust timing belt tension w/ out removing lower cover??

Hello, I just replaced my timing belt two weeks ago. I have driven the car once since then. I pulled off my valve cover yesterday and my timing belt is loose. Is it possible to access the tensioner bolt with out removing the lower timing cover. I would remove the valve cover and the upper timing cover. I hope there it is possible beacause if not i would have to remore the ps belt, alt belt, and crank pulley to get the lower cover off. Thanks alot in advance.

Yep.. There is a little round black cover, remove it, under that is the timing belt tensioner.. Loosen it and turn the engine to tighten the belt.. Then tighten the bolt and put the cover back on and your good to go..
