2002 2.2L idler pulley bolt

Regular or reverse threaded? I'm thinking reverse, but before I crank down on this thing I'm hoping someone who knows will chime in.

Re: 2002 2.2L idler pulley bolt

Hmm... I thought the '96 just had a tensioner, guess I was wrong. The reason I was thinking it had reverse threads was I have a Buick with a reverse threaded tensioner pulley. My understanding was that the bolt was reverse threaded to keep the rotation of the pulley from loosening it. Anyone with a cavalier/sunfire closer to mine have some input, just in case GM decided to change things up? Thanks Helmuth48!

Yep, regular threads, not reverse threaded. Thanks again!
