tensioner pulley Replaced the pulley on my tensioner today. Pain in the ***. Took a few hours. Had to unbolt the power steering pump. Butttttt no more squeaks. And my altenator bracket happened to fall on to a saws all and into paint to be prepared for my intake swap. So I'm pumped

Did you replace the whole tensioner our just the pulley? I purchased just the pulley today I was hoping it would only take a few min remove the belt and replace the pulley, our does the whole tensioner need to be removed anyways? Thanks in advance

I did just the pulley. The spring is indestructible. The pulley was like 10 bucks....and its far from a few minutes. It took me a few hours. And I work on cars for a living. It's 4 or 5 bolts.but the power steering line is a hard line and in the way. Lots of finagling but you will get it. Then its a torx bolt to remove the pulley.
