Re: need help replacing belt tensioner - 95 skylark
have you got the 3800 engine? I doubt you do. It should be the same for the 3.1 and 3.4 engines.
you'll need a metric set of sockets
socket wrench
12 pack of bud(optional)
take your socket wrench and use a 15mm socket(I think) to release ension on the belt, and remove the belt. Take care to remember which way the belt sat in the engine, and the path it takes. its important to keep a belt spinning the same way all its life.
use a 15mm socket(i think) and remove the 2 power steering pump bolts.the socket should with through the openings in the PS pully
set the ps pump aside, no need to disconnect the ps lines. you should have access to all the bolts to take the tensioner unit off.
repeat backards to install. beer may be consumed at anytime
