I'm surprised you have to take off the whole rear of the car to fix this problem... isn't there enough room for vice grips or something once you get the rest of the pulley tightener assembly off? I'd check but I don't have "THAT" engine anymore. To answer your question, anyways--- Taking off the rear facia is a pain in the @#$!! Taking off the rear facia assembly is a piece of cake. There are 4 bolts- two on each side in an angle bracket. They are in the rear left and right corner of the engine compartment. Take them out and the whole back end falls off. Don't forget to unplug the tail lights (goes up by the coolant bottle to the firewall), and if you like your corner markers, pull them off and disconnect them (they are attached to the harness in the rear facia assembly). good luck..
