The socket needed for the tensioner is 19mm for the hex head just above and forward of the pulley wheel, six point is best. I used a harbor freight tensioner tool with the 3/8" square end, with the handle pointing straight up it has enough space to release. Definitely have a buddy help you if you want to get done before 2 hours.
very helpful! only problem is now I cant put back the new one properly probably because of that kind of tab you talk about at 6:04 I dont really see how can hit on it with a hammer what size did you use? and any other tools? scared of hitting the sides and deforming the threads inside
We literally just changed that and an broken tensioner Assembly yesterday with the little warm weather we got what a pain I'm still having nightmares about it😫 but thank God we got the job done. Kinder wish we had came across this video right here👀😏
Thank you, You sure were a great help. Thank you for marking the belt diagram.
