Keep DH out - (lock him in the basement) Read the instructions several times. It is like making a quilt - you have to read the instructions and work up your nerve. Clean as you go. Here is a generic type manual. You will need to look at your type of tension and then go from there - it has info your owner's manual doesn't have. http://www.tfsr.org/pub/technical_in...echanism_2.pdf the info for the later 66 and 99 should work. You can print it out and make notes or what ever you need to do.
OK ladies, lets not pick on the hubbies. FYI I can fix a tensioner too. And I don't need a pair of water pump pliers and a hammer to do it.

miriam, Thanks for the tensioner link. One more fix-it manual for my library.
