Why this? I span the belt with a 15 nut and a wrench.

It's designed to give more leverage, a belt change usually takes a few min.

To answer your question, you just need the coolant elbow and the new tensioner.

Re: Need help I must replace the tensioner...
I think it's in the dorman section @ your local Auto parts store, it's a coolant heater elbow for around $2.00 / 1/2hr fix.
The tensioner still needs tobe removed, and all the broken pieces must be removed from both the intake & tensioner. |
