Pulleys
A pulley is a mechanism composed of a wheel on an axle or shaft. A rope, or cable usually runs over the wheel and inside the groove. Pulleys are normally used to change the direction of an applied force to make the work easier. It is one of the six simple machines.

Where is the ac on a Ford Tempo?
I KNOW FOR THE 1990 IT IS TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE BELOW THE ALT.
Wrong pulley. Get a correct pulley from the dealer.
Alternatively, consider that the semi-universal pulley you bought from the auto parts store was meant for use by a mechanic who is not blind and has eyes. The mechanic can see that by removing or adding a flat washer you can correct a problem of a non-rotating part contacting a rotating part.
How do you take off the pulley on a Honda accord ex power steering pump?
If it is not bolted on, then it is pressed on, and must be removed with a puller. Most Auto Parts Stores will lend you the puller if you purchase the new pump from them. Try Advance or Auto Zone.
How do you remove the tension pulley on a 2000 Nissan Altima?
1) Remove passenger side wheel
2) Take off the plastic access panel that is low and to the right in the wheel well opening. It has several plastic screws.
3) You can now see the tensioner pulley and lower belt. Use a 14mm socket on an extension and loosen the bolt on the pulley.
4) Behind and under the pulley bracket is an adjuster bolt. Loosen that to be able to move the pulley upward and allowing for the belt to come loose and off. This is now a good time to change that lower drive belt. It will now flop right off the AC compressor, tensioner pulley, and crank pulley.
5) Reassemble in reverse order.
6) I did not put the cover shield back in place. I've driven two NY winters with it off. It is not a must have.
7) With that access panel not there, it is now a breeze to adjust the belt tension or change the belt or pulley. I just park the car with the wheel cut hard right, then reach right in and adjust or replace the belt and pulley in minutes.
Where is the tension pulley located on a 1997 Geo Metro?
1.3 and 1.6 liter don't have one 1.8 liter is at the back top see picture at this site It's a wonder he could even figure out how to turn the computer on. Please don't answer questions if you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Geo Metros did not come with a 1.6 OR 1.8 liter engine. For both the 1.0 and 1.3L, the camshaft timing belt tensioner pulley is located inside the timing belt cover, attached to the water pump in the center front of the motor. The air conditioner belt tensioner is under the air conditioner compressor between the compressor and the block.
Is the timing mark always on the crank pulley?
Most American made cars have the timing mark on the crank pulley. I say most, because I'm not familiar with some import models and how they time their vehicles or if they use any marks at all.

How do you replace a tension pulley on a 2001 Lincoln town car?

How do you remove the power steering pulley?
You need a special tool, you can get a set of pullers. Go to the local auto store of your choice (NAPA, Shucks, Auto Zone, etc.) and ask--they'll know. Once you get the tool, it's easy. When you are buying it ask how to use it. Likely price $20-$45 for a set to pull a few types of pulleys.
GM tensioners are spring loaded to provide the correct tension on the serpentine belt. If the belt is loose, either the tensioner is bad or you're using the wrong belt.
Which way to turn the crankshaft bolt on a 97 Honda civic?
The crankshaft spins counter-clockwise on a 1997 Honda. To remove the bolt for the main pulley spin the bolt clockwise.
Is the center bolt on the crankshaft pulley reverse threaded?
If you still are having trouble with this.
Use an impact wrench to remove it.
If you do not own one rent from a auto parts store.
And use RED loctite thread locker when reinstalling.
If all else fails get a good breaker bar and a cheater bar and a crank pulley holding tool from a auto parts store.
Do NOT use a ratchet you will just break your tool and be in deeper dookey!
Good luck!
What is the name of the pulley at the bottom of the engine that runs with the alternator belt?

How do you remove the crankshaft pulley on a 1992 Geo Tracker with a broken timing belt?

How do you stop pulley from turning to loosen bolts?
If there is a slot in the pully, you stick something in the slot that is long enough so that it will, when the pully turns rest against some non breakable component on the vehicle and stop the pully from turning.
If you are trying to get the crankshaft pully off, you will usually need to access the point where the transmission connects to the engine flywheel. You then need to stick something strong, like the flat edge of a prybar into the flywheel to keep it from turning while you put pressure on the crankshaft pully bolt. This usually requires help from another individual. It is very important that what you use to hold the flywheel in place is strong enough to keep the flywheel from turning without breaking. If you break it off in the flywheel when turning it, there is a good chance that you will find yourself removing the transmission to get whatever broke off out. If it breaks off and you don't remove it, it will damange your transmission.
If you have an impact wrench with an air compressor, this can probably be done much more easily as long as your impact wrench is strong enough to break the bolt free and you can fit it onto the bolt.

How do you fix a squeaking idler pulley on a dodge caravan?
I just fixed this problem today. My van is a 2000 Grand Caravan with the 3.3 and 165,000 miles. it has been an extraordinarily reliable van, but recently I've been chasing this squeak. It has taken me 6 months to narrow it down, but today I nailed it. Months ago I replaced the belt and pulleys with stock replacements along with the power steering pump and A/C clutch assembly. They stayed quiet for about a month then slowly the squeak came back. My next move was to replace the stock belt and pulleys with the gates double sided belt and grooved idler/tensioner pulleys and a new tensioner. My van never dropped a belt in wet weather, but due to it's age and this persistent problem I pulled the trigger on this kit. It began squeaking again in a week. I don't know why I didn't think to do it earlier, but I pulled out my mechanics stethoscope, removed the end so that it was just a straight hose and held it near all of the pulleys as the van ran (you could use a piece of fuel line and hold it up to one ear, it's almost as effective). The harmonic balancer/crank pulley was the problem. Shining a flash light on it with the engine running showed that it had a bit of run-out, but only a slight amount. The wobble was only about 1 mm. I ordered a cheap replacement from Amazon and installed it. The squeak is gone. Check all of your pulleys, but especially the crank because it has a rubber isolator that breaks down and causes the wobble. You'll need a 3 jaw puller to remove the old pulley. Be careful not to over-tighten the crank bolt because it WILL break. Put a drop of motor oil between the head and washer and use loc-tite on the threads. I took me way more time to drill and tap the crank to fix the broken bolt than the pulley swap took. GOOD LUCK!
What tool do you use to remove the bolt holding the mower blade on?
A ratchet wrench and appropriate size socket work just fine. Remove the spark plug wire before you start the job. You will have to hold the blade with one hand for leverage as you turn the ratchet with the other hand.
Why does your serpentine belt keep coming off the pulley?
Your serpentime belt tensioner needs replacement ( spring inside it broken/weak) or your belt worn , Have you changed any components lately ? installed right ( pulley not centre with rest of system ) ( shims )
How do you route the alternator belt over the pulleys on a 1997 Kia Sephia RS 1.6L?
According to the online manual (www.kiatechinfo.com) it routes over the drive pulley, water pump pulley, and the alternator generator.
To put on the alternator belt, you'll have to take off the power steering belt as well, which routes from the drive pulley to the a/c pulley, and then up to the power steering.
You'll likely have a hard time getting the power steering belt off and back on. Check the online manual for locations of pivot bolts, adjusting bolts, and locknuts for both the power steering belt and the alternator, as well as a routing diagram for each.
Can you bypass ac compressor pulley on 1998 Ford F-150 with 4.6?
Try this website. You can bypass the AC with this bypass pulley bolted on and use the same serpentine belt as before. http://www.1aauto.com/1A/ACBypassPulley/Ford/FSeriesPickup/1AEPM00022/481685 JS
On most newer cars, the crank pulley is one piece with the harmonic balancer.... Remove it with a harmonic balancer puller.
