ACD.

Been to lazy to rebuild the damn thing.

 

So my serpentine tensioner arm was completely seized.
Every morning I would get heavy squealing, at first I thought it was coming from the PS pump.
Ivey FTW replaced the tensioner and belt.
Squealing stopped! :-)

 

Plastic under tray disappeared last winter. Considered getting the SSP 2 Piece Aluminum Under Panel.

 

I think mine is seized too!

When I went to release the tensioner to swap the belt - the bolt just gets 'loose'...

Did you just remove the pulley bolt/pulley to get the belt off?

How did you access the tensioner? Did go in from underneath?

Any help/advice is appreciated!

My tensioner was seized in the stretched position.
I watched a little bit from 30' away.
With the car up in the air, They took off the passenger front wheel.
Since the tensioner was seized, they cut the old belt off and removed the tensioner from the bottom with what looked like a long creasent wrench.

 

exhaust heat shields ... put big band clamps on them to stop the frickin' rattling.

several bolts were completely rusted and failed to hold them together.

 

That's what I needed!
Thanks!
