I greatly appreciate you sharing this video! This was the only video that I could find, to replace my belt tensioner. I hope that you have a great day today. Thank you so much!!!
all idler pulleys with tensioner is the best thing to do .Dont over tighten that bolt for the tensioner ..I nearly stripped mine because the bolt was a bit froze from a small bit of corrosion ..I wanted to be sure it was tight ,it kept spinning ,it would not tighten ,so I put grey Teflon tape on the threads at that saved the day ... I took my fan clutch off and got the shroud out of the way and it made the job much easer
Worth noting is some less expensive tensioner pulleys like the Linerts I just bought aren't as wide as stock but are wide enough and stay centered on the belt. Smart play with tensioners and pulleys is bring your old ones when buying at the auto store. I removed the (LEFT HAND THREAD) tensioner pulley bolt so I'd have the bare pulley in hand for comparison to be sure I had a correct match.
Good video thanks. Will be doing the pulley below the tensioner pulley, and more directly under the alternator soon as it has seized up and broken the serpentine belt. Hoping that pulley also has the torx socket , fingers crossed..
Hey brother i wanted to say thank you for your easy to follow back yard jerkem video . Awesome man im hooked im a new subscriber . Keep up the good work brother ..... apperciate ya more then u know!!!!
What if I just want to replace the pulley only? Is that center bolt a reverse thread; and, is there any con to just replacing the pulley only? Great vids. Thanks Again, You really helped me out.
I changed this in a 2000 f150 4.2 because of a rattling sound in drive at idle. Didn't get rid of the rattling but its for sure coming from the tensioner. Its out of warranty so I'm going to try again with the one you suggested.
I got an 07 4.2 and it's making a rattling sound when I turn on the AC at idle it's getting pretty loud. Hoping it's not something else on the belt did you seem to fix yours
@@nickwheeler1652 it ended up being the belt. I just needed a new belt, the old one was stretched causing the tensioner to rattle because of lack of tension
@@J1SMOKES wow awesome definitely going to try that first thanks for the reply man. This rarely happens when somebody does grab yourself a cold one and no that you really help the guy out on the interweb

Wow I needed a new alternator and did it just like you showed me, thanks alot it worked well.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING IT SO SIMPLE
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks Bro, just got one for 100$ , just squeals. Will try running without belt for a minute to see if it's a bearing, hopefully just tensioner.
Good job brother exact info i need . Mine is squealing when i start it then settles down . Know what to look for now
I just took off my tensioner thanks. For tips
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing
THANK YOU !!!! Excellent vid.
Thank you. Very helpful.
Thanks for the video. One question. My belt tensioner won't budge when I try to release the pressure, any idea why?
Easiest way for me was to pull it from bottom

Could i remove the top radiator hose for acess , i thought it might be easier?
Thanks bro
Thanks good video
Can't get mine off is the bolt reversed thread?
BAD ASS SHIT HOMIE! 😷🇲🇽💪🏽👏🏼👍🏼
That tensioner bolt is being a bitch for me
Same snapped 2 t50s trying to break it loose... no idea what I'm gonna do now lol
Use deep penetration WD-40 on bolt and gently tap bolt with a hammer a few times with out damage the threads
Definitely don't have to move the alternator lol
You are great. Thank you brother.
