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
On a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.2 V8 engine, the serpentine belt tensioner is located on the front of the engine, near the center. It is typically positioned above the crankshaft pulley and to the right of the alternator. The tensioner is a pulley mounted on a spring-loaded arm, which maintains tension on the serpentine belt. To adjust or replace it, you may need to use a wrench to relieve tension before removing the belt.
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.
No. They are not interchangeable.
yes it should
