Roland 1226,
Thanks for the information..If I decide to replace the tensioner, not just the pulley. I read somewhere that there are two bolts holding the tensioner in place. One you can see plainly, the other is hard to get to, as it is underneath the pulley. Do I need to take the pulley off first, or just use the hex boss and turn it lock it in the relaxed belt position to access the second bolt? I may be wrong about the two bolts. Regardless, what size socket and would I need a specialized wrench to remove the tensioner bolts from the engine?
Again, my thanks in advance for any help,
KJN
