alsil Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Hey guys, I have a question, and I'm pretty sure you guys would know. I need to take the belt tensioner off the front of the alternator mount that bolts to the engine. I need to take this off to pull the head, and I need to remove the tensioner to get to the bolts that holds it to the head. It seems to have a torx head bolt in the center of the tensioner. Does this remove the tensioner, I'm worried because I don't want to remove it and have the tensioner fall to pieces. I'm pretty sure it won't, but I need to be sure, because I need to get the engine back in the car this weekend. any help would be appreciated. Pic of the front of the engine for reference Thanks!

blueovalz Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 I wished I could answer your question, but I cannot. I still use the V-belts. I would have the same concerns also, but if there is not other way to R&R, then I would very carfully loosen it while testing to see if anything is spring loaded or not. All I can say is good luck and let us know what the result is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
