The tightness of a bolt on an engine pulley typically depends on the manufacturer's specifications, which can vary by engine type and design. Generally, it should be tightened to a specific torque value, often measured in foot-pounds or Newton-meters, to ensure proper function without risking damage. It's important to follow the recommended torque settings in the service manual to avoid over-tightening or under-tightening, which can lead to issues like slippage or failure. Always use a torque wrench for accuracy when tightening.

I don't know what car you are working on but usually there is a bolt that the pulley arm pivots on and another that will tighten and hold it in place. Look for that second bolt.

On the tension pulley above the AC unit there is a tension bolt behind the pulley. Loosen the front nut on the front of the pulley then loosen the long bolt to drop the pulley until the belt fits. Tighten the long back bolt until the belt is tight ( see manf. recommendations on torque ) then tighten the bolt on the front of the pulley.

How do you pull crankshaft pulley from VW?

It's pretty easy on an aircooled engine. The bolt that holds it on doesn't get very tight, so what you need to do is to lock the crank pulley somehow--I've done it by just squeezing the belt together real tight with my hand--and removing the bolt with a 30mm socket. If you stil On a watercooled engine you'll need an impact wrench. In either case, once the bolt is out the pulley slides off the crank. You might need a puller on a watercooled engine; I never have used one on an aircooled engine--you can normally just wiggle the pulley a little and it slides off. Helpful hint: on an aircooled car put a little high-temp grease on the end of the crank before you put the pulley back on. There's a Woodruff key in there so it won't spin around, but it will make getting it on and off easier. I wouldn't do it on a watercooled car because on those there isn't anything to keep the pulley from spinning except for LOTS and LOTS of torque on the bolt.

To remove the crankshaft pulley on a BMW X5, the bolt is typically tightened in a clockwise direction. Therefore, to loosen it, you should turn the bolt counterclockwise. It's advisable to use a suitable socket and breaker bar, as these bolts can be very tight. Always ensure the engine is secured and at the appropriate position before attempting removal.

How do you replace a tensioner for a 1996 Chrysler Sebring?

There are two bolts you must turn to remove the old tension pulley. The one on the pulley must be loosened in order to loosen the tension pulley. To the left of the pulley(looking from the passenger side of the vehicle) the tensioning bolt is situated at a right angle to the pulley bolt. It is pointing towards the rear of the vehicle. There is an aluminum slug inside the mount point for the pulley. You may have trouble threading the bolt back into the slug once removed. It is possible but you may have to hold the slug steady with the tensioning bolt. Be sure to keep the aluminum brace that goes on the outside of the pulley. It will be hard to find if you lose it. Once the bolt holding the tensioner is removed from the engine the parts simply slip apart. Be sure to reassemble them just like you dissasembled them. Tighten the bolt to the point that the pulley can still be adjusted with the tensioning bolt. Tighten the tensioning bolt until the belt is tight to specifications. then be sure to tighten down the pulley bolt.
