auto store usually special order for a timing belt tensioner or belt tensioner
Assuming your serpentine belt is in good condition... the bearing of pulley could be making noise (or bearing could fail allowing you to jiggle pulley with your hand), and/or tensioner spring is worn out.
The system should have an automatic belt tensioner. If the belt is loose the tensioner must be shot. The tensioner is available from your local auto parts store.
The pin in the auto-tensioner slid right out with no resistance. I also measured the auto-tensioner piston runout at 0.17" with a caliper...right where it should be.
The 2005 Nissan Altima auto tensioner pulley can be removed by removing the center bolt. You will need to hold the pulley stationary while you loosen the bolt.
Yes, the bearing in that pulley may be going bad.
if there is any play at all in the bearing on the tensioner,it needs replacing. also if you hae the correct new serpentine belt and the tensioner does not keep the belt tight when installed properly,you need new tensioner
You dont , its an auto tensioner .
You can purchase a wheel bearing online from stores such as Auto Zone and Amazon. You can also purchase them from your local NAPA or Advanced Auto Parts store.
There are two types of tensioners for the prelude if you have an H23 (non vtec) then it is manual, if it is an H22 (vtech) then it is auto tensioner. due to failures with the auto tensioner it is highly recommended to swap over to a manual tensioner if you have an H22. As for the answer to the question, go to Preludepower.com or search the web for the repair manual to download, it is free and legal. Hope this helps.
