first of all...that big gray bolt in the middle of the pulley is the tensioner correct?
im currently installing the underdrive pulley from rrm and im on the step where it tells you to turn the tensioner towards the front of the car...i dont know if its on too tight or what but i cant seem to mkae it loose...when i try to turn it, it turns the whole puley system...i dont know what to do and please dont tell me i need a torque wrench or to take it to the shop because ive got the car sitting in the driveway and im not about to put it all back together just to drive over to the shop and have them charge me out the *** for the install

 

do not touch that bolt for any reason let me find a pick for you

 

and that little hole on the pulley inbetween those two bolts is where the allen wrench goes in right?

 

sht lol ive been trying to turn it cause the directions that came with the pulley arent very specific on where the tensioner is if you dont really know much about cars you know?

 

all you need to know is to rout the belt in and out... and the only bolts you will loose are the 4 bolts that hold up the pulley...

 

wow thanks a lot but where exactly does the 1/2 ratchet go cause that doesnt look llike a bolt...

 

nooo... the 1/2 drive is an extension to the ratchet... goes in the square hole in the picture... that is your tensioner... one you have the 1/2 drive in push up and the tensioner will let go of the belt... take the belt off and put the pulley on and the new belt....

the bolts that hold up the pulley are 12mm if i remember correctly.... on the install the only bolts you will actually take off and on are the ones that hold up the pulley nothing more, nothing else....

 

ohh ok i think i got it ..thanks a lot hah if i have anymore problems ill be back

 

ok

 

HEY! That's a sweet picture.

 

ok im stuck again....i see what i have to do but i dont think i have the right tool...the drive ratchet is a ratchet that lets you turn it one way and then "crank" it soo you dont have to keep taking it on and off right? and you can connect different sizes to the end? well all the extentions i have are to remove bolts i dont think i have anything that looks like its ment to go into that square spot...whats that piece look like?

 

ok i think i know what it is...its not a piece you put on the end its the end itself that needs to be 1/2inch right? i dont think i got one....

 

ratchet



extention

 

wait i have what i need then...i have to turn the bolt in the middle of the tensioner right? i thought i had to put something in that square looking hole to turn it cause thats what the arrow is pointing to...

 

exactly.. you will put the extension were the arrow points in the square hole
