Well, I would have liked to have torqued the tensioner adjuster holding bolt "to torque", but opted to tighten it with the same pivoting combo wrench that I used to remove it (an educated "good & tight").eieio wrote:thanks !smj999smj wrote:No....either way will work.
I'm having trouble accessing the tensioner assy bolt, because the fan is in the way.
Any way to work around the fan, or does it have to come off?
And if it does have to come off, does the whole fan assy mounting bracket have to be removed?
If the bracket has to be removed, how does one torque the tensioner assy
bolt?
41 ft lbschezler wrote:Hey guys, can we open it up one more time?
The last post, by eieio, ask about the torque for the bolt holding the tensioner.
I have searched the web over and, psssst can't find the answer to that question anywhere.
The size of the bolt would hold probably 60 or 70 ft/lbs, but I know it doesn't need any thing like that. It would collapse the spring housing.
I'm thinking more like 25 or 30 ft/lbs. with blue thread locker.
Does anyone know the spec?
Mine is torn apart right now, and I can get a torque wrench in there. (Just replacing the compressor clutch, belt, pulleys).
you're welcome.chezler wrote:Thanks eieio, that manual is something I've been needing.
41 ft/lbs seems like a lot for that spring housing, but I'll do it.
A lot of good info in there, and on this forum. Glad I found both.

You were right!disallow wrote:From what I can see on Rockauto.com is that the difference between the old and new is 87 9/32" vs 87 7/8". So about 0.60".
I see that new belts are available for about $15 or less, I'd probably just buy a new one and scrap the one you've had lying around for 4 years.
