Whoa, talk about a tough job! Replacing a tensioner just pulley is no easy feat. But don’t worry - with the right tools and know-how, you can get it done in no time. So grab your gear and let’s get started!
Should I Replace The Tensioner Or Just The Pulley? [Solved]
Well, if the pulley’s busted, don’t just replace it - you gotta swap out the whole tensioner assembly. And if it’s an idler pulley that’s gone bad, check out the tensioner too ‘cause a faulty idler can cause vibrations that’ll mess up the tensioner.
Inspect the Tensioner: Before replacing the tensioner, inspect it for signs of wear and tear such as cracks, rust, or other damage. If any of these are present, replace the tensioner immediately.
Remove Old Tensioner: Once you have inspected the tensioner and determined that it needs to be replaced, remove it from its mounting bracket by loosening the bolts that hold it in place.
Install New Tensioner: After removing the old tensioner, install a new one in its place using new bolts and washers to secure it in place. Make sure to tighten all bolts securely before moving on to the next step.
Replace Pulley: Once you have installed a new tensioner, replace the pulley with a new one that is compatible with your vehicle’s make and model year. Make sure to use threadlock compound on all screws when installing them into place for added security and longevity of your replacement parts.
Test Drive Vehicle: After replacing both parts successfully, take your vehicle out for a test drive to ensure everything is working properly before putting it back into regular use again
Replacing the tensioner and just pulley is a breeze! All you have to do is take off the old one, pop in the new one, and you’re good to go. No sweat! It’s a piece of cake - just make sure you’ve got all the right tools.
