Belt Tensioner - Won't Tighten Enough"
2000 Ranger...I pulled the tensioner spring assembly and pully during the rebuild. Now I can only get a weak tension load or about 3/4" to 1" belt deflection. How can I reset it. It does flex or compress the flat spring coil when I wrench on the the lower pully and takes some effort to get the belt on? Just does not seem very taunt. Any thoughts? Trying to get the truck running tonight as I returned the rental car....THANKS!!!!
P.S.I can shoot a photo if it would help

Just got back from Autozone with a new tensioner. Looks kind of cheap compared to the Ford Part. Missed the post re '03 versions. Can I still use the "listed" '00 part from Autozone?
Also I don't see an icon for attaching photos to threads. Though I'd post the damaged unit in case anybody else has a similar repair.
