Here's the photo that explains everything. You can see the new mounting bolt for the new tensioner because it's nice and shiny, not like the old one which was pert near invisible being all black and ugly looking. So the smart thing to do would have been to take the nut off this one bolt, rather than taking off the whole bracket. Assuming there is room to get a wrench on it, and I think there is. See Part 1 for the whole gruesome story.
Update February 2017 replaced missing picture.
EEEEK! That was the nut we could hardly get a wrench on when the belt broke on my car. Since I have small hands, it became my job. >.<
ReplyDeleteThey're the bees knees- when you can get the wrench to them.
