Also I am looking to replace the a/c clutch and it has 8 grooves instead of 6 like the regular XF. Any ideas where i can get one. The part # would be invaluable. It would be easier that just replacing the bearing. regular xf bearings and clutches are very easily located but not srt
The SRT6 tensioner does not have the 17 mm hex moulded onto it, you have to use a Torx bit in the screw head. Make sure that it is the largest bit that fits in the sctprew or the Torx socket will be ruinrped and you are screwed.
