    It's super exciting to jump right into the new project car and get my hands dirty. After hearing a very squeaky tensioner pulley I decided to overhaul all the belts and tensioners and in this video I break it down step by step for your wrenching pleasure.

    Very good video. Excellent camera work as well as talk through. I know it's a challenge getting good footage of such tight areas.
    I gotta do this job soon and now I know exactly what to do. Would love to see more content related to that engine.

    Nicely done. I've been trying to get clear information on this all day, in order to get to the coolant line that snakes behind the pulley down to the transmission cooler (got a mystery leak somewhere). From your video, I've determined that breaking the two 13mm bolts loose, toss the main belt off, then remove the Water Pump Pulley to get a straight shot to the Trans Cooler Line Mounting Bolt. In theory, it SHOULD come right off.

    You can buy proper 32mm viscous fan spanner set/wrench set here on ebay to lock the waterpump pulley and loosen the clutch fan in a few seconds. I can put a link if you wish or you can check on my channel. Good to see you are replacing these old worn pulleys. The bearings were definitely toast.🤜🤛

    Perez, don't stop what you're doing with your e38 channel. Learning so much invaluable content. It's not even about saving $ with mechanics - it's enjoying the process of building and knowing how to maintain your e38. Thank you

    Nice vid. Something I don't see anyone every comment on is the tensioner shock bolts tightening sequence. They are pivots points in the tensioner operation as well. Seems like they should be loose until the tensioner arm is locked into place, then the shock bolts could be tightened. Sounds good, probably no access coupled with only tiny rotation in shock mount bolts. I am doing that job tomorrow and will take a closer look at this idea.
