There is no tensioner pully. The Power Steering pump has a moving bracket that adjusts the belt tension. It has a long adjustment bolt. You have to remove the air cleaner and housing to reach it successfully.
Funny, mine has a belt tensioner pulley under the power steering pump, which is tightened by a long adjustment bolt. So does every other 1996 Cherokee I've worked on!
Yes, if the belt tension is not tight enough it won't spin the radiator fan due to slippage. Replace the tensioner pulley.
standard thread on the 99 model with 4.0 liter.
Put a ratchet on the tensioner pulley bolt... set your ratchet on "loosen" turn the tensioner pulley and assembly upword... hold it there and remove the belt... DO NOT LET GO OF THE RATCHET AFTER YOU REMOVE THE BELT slowly let the tensioner pulley move back to a resting position...
it has a manual tensioner
Yes
Assuming the pump is similar to my 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport, you first need to remove the the pulley with a special tool which you can borrow at an auto parts store. But before doing this, loosen and slide off the the belt off the pump. After removing pulley. remove bolts and pump should slide off. Did this to my jeep recently.
Yes it will.
Where is the windshield wiper relay located on a 1996 grand jeep Cherokee
Should have an automatic belt tensioner -perhaps it is defective I don't think there is a belt tensioner. Belt tension is adjusted at the power steering pump bracket and idler pulley assembly.
yes it should
No. They are not interchangeable.
No.
