K-tech tensioner install help needed. Do I need I puller to get stock pulley off of tensioner? Do you think I should remove pulley bolt before removing tensioner and pulley? Thanks!

Re: K-tech tensioner install help needed. No puller needed. It just bolts on. It comes off easy so it doesn't matter if you do it on or off the car. I guess it'd be easier holding it if it's on the car.

Re: K-tech tensioner install help needed. Thank you.
Once I have the K-teck tensioner on the car with the pulley, how do I tension the belt? Have to pull belt tight then tighten bolt in slider???
Thanks again

Re: K-tech tensioner install help needed. On the corvette version, you insert a 3/8 drive extension into the tensioner and use a ratchet to tension the belt. Then tighten the bolt when in the correct location. You want to get it pretty tight.

Re: K-tech tensioner install help needed. Thanks guys!! It went on with no problems. However it did not solve my belt squaele. In fact I shredded the belt! <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0"> Fortunately I was right down the block from my house when this happened, and I dont think I did any major damage! I guess I know why the belt was squealling now - it was bad. Or maybe I mis-routed it when I put it back on <img src="gr_emb.gif" border="0"> ? But I don't think so.
Anyway - anyone know the part number for the Gates belt when you have an SLP underdrive pulley?
Thanks!
