WHAT PULLEY DO I loosen to get single drive belt on?

If you are referring to the Serpentine belt, you loosen no pulley. You simply remove tension from the belt. The tension is applied by the Idler Pulley. Pry the idler back and remove the belt.If you are referring to the Serpentine belt, you loosen no pulley. You simply remove tension from the belt. The tension is applied by the Idler Pulley.

How do you adjust alternator belt tension on a 1995 Nissan Sentra XE?

You'll find an idler/tensioner pulley, which rides on an adjustable arm. First you have to loosen the locknut(14mm?) of the pulley , then tighten/loosen the adjuster rod (8mm?) to adjust the belt tension. Afterwards, tighten the locknut.


Is the Idler Pulley on the GM 3800 II reverse thread?

Hey, yes the Idler Pully nut is reverse tread (you have to turn right to loosen this) this is because you turn left to loosen belt tension. I believe this is true for a lot of GM engines.


How do you replace the idler pulley on a 97 blazer?

you should be able to put a socket wrench in the front of the idler pulley. Push away from the tension of the belt, then remove the belt. MAKE SURE you remember how the belt came off. Loosen the bolts on the pulley, then remove. Install new pulley, then put the belt back on.

loosen the nut on the idler pulley. There is a bolt at 10:00 o'clock from the pulley. Loosen this bolt until you can put the belt on then tighten the bolt till the belt is tight then tighten the nut on the idler pulley. Recheck the belt tension after a day or so..


How do you remove a idler pulley1988 tbird?

One configuration of the idler pulley on the 1988 was a solid pulley connected with two bolts to a bracket on the front of the engine. The other configuration was a spring loaded pulley. If the bracket kind, remove the tension (with the bolt on top, you need to actually TIGHTEN the bolt to loosen the tension), then loosen the two bolts connecting to the bracket. Comes loose pretty easy. Replacement is around $15. http://www.marksatterfield.com


How do you replace the idler pulley on a 1993 Geo Prism?

I assume you mean the idler pulley on the A/C belt. I have not replaced this particular item but it should be simple. Looking from the top of the engine compartment on the passenger side you will see the idler pulley with a mounting/locking bolt which attaches the pulley and the tension adjusting point immediately above it. Loosen the pulley locking bolt by turning counter clockwise. Relieve belt tension by turning the adjuster bolt counter clockwise. Remove the belt and pulley. Replace in the reverse order.
