Hey guys, my tensioner pully was making a real bad squeeking noise so i took it off and cleaned/greased it. When I put it back on i snapped the pin that is stiking out in the back that alligned with the hole .. Now I just ordered a new one and was wondering how you guys go about putting that tensioner pully back on? I dont want to snap the new one :S . will the part work without that pin to lock it?

 

the same way you got it off, just line it up with the hole and tighten it on....and y did you order it?? you could get one from advanced autozone or pepboys, they usually have stuff like that instock

 

take it slow and think about wat ur doin. should go right on. and autozone, etc. should have had it o well good luck.

 

no auto zone down here but i tried a few parts store and they wanted 86$Cdn.. ford was actually cheaper at 63$ but didnt have any in stock so thats why i ordered it but i think im gonna cancel it. Anyways i getto fabbed it and just drilled a bolt into it where the pin snapped and im back in business with no squeeks :) I was aware that i just put it back the same way it was with the bolt but there was a pin behind too that aligned with a hole and it had snapped of when i was tightening the actual bolt.. if that makes sence .. anyways im fixed and happy

 

i know what ya mean about that little "nipple", seems like what you did make even be alittle more reliable.....

 

Damn squeek was fixed for a few hours of driving and its back again! Gonna change the pully and belt and be done with it. so much for trying to fix it the cheap way.

 

I changed my idler pully and tensioner pully plus changed the belt to get the squeaking to go away on my 98 ranger xlt. it took a while but i got it done.
