[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1023624, member: 61136"] Is this the top idler pully? or the lower tensonor pully.? The top Idler can be done in a few minutes regular tools. Right hand threads. The hardest might be getting a good lever on the tensonor pully. It has to be released for either repair. or even belt replacment. I bought me a tool fromm harbor freight that is designed for almost any tensonor relaese. If you use a 3/8 ratchet or breakover on the tensonor release. take a long one. it can be stiff. and it is down low on the right side below the altenator. If you have to replace the tensonor idler. I prefer the gates brand. the internal spring is flat wound metal. As where other brands are spiral coils. The flat wound design has less tendency to cause belt slap. Smoother operation less vibs on the accessories. Hope this helps some and is not info overload...GL [/QUOTE]
