If the tensioner doesn't spring back, it can lead to insufficient tension on the timing belt or chain, potentially causing slippage or misalignment. This can result in poor engine performance, increased wear on components, or even catastrophic engine failure if the timing is disrupted. Additionally, a stuck tensioner may cause abnormal noises or vibrations in the engine. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify and address tensioner issues before they lead to serious problems.

Is a 1994 ford ranger tensioner pulley spring loaded cant get it locked back in place?
The tensioner has an arrow on it, indicating the direction it needs to be pulled to allow the installation of the belt. The pulling is accomplished by putting a standard 3/8" ratchet driver into the square hole, and putting hand pressure on the handle of the wrench. The square hole is in the middle of the tensioner, and you just pop your wrench into it like its a socket. Use a long driver, so its easier to overcome the tensioner spring.

First, get a new serpentine belt. There is a de-tensioning wrench that you can borrow from Kragen Auto Parts, or Pep Boys. This wrench is at least 3 feet long, and you attach it to your alternator's back end, which has a bar-metal spring tensioner. The wrench bends back this tensioner spring, which allows you to remove the old belt, and put in the new belt.
How do you remove the Timing belt on a Hyundai Excel 94. The problem is with the Spring loaded tension pulley?
HI the tensioner is mounted with 2 bolts..you must be careful not to strip them..remove them, then the big spring..that holds the tensioner..it is under pressure so be careful..when putting spring back ON, you must pry it OVER the bottom tab on engine block...use crow bar or large flat screwdriver to do so..The right hand bolt is a PIVOt that slides..the left hand bolt fixes the tension on the tensioner..the tensioner slides up and down on the right hand tensioner bolt to adjust the tension on the timing belt..its hard to explain w/o a diagram..good luck
