Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Trying to remove belt to change alternator. Tensioner pulley won't loosen, just spins in place. Is there a thread at the rear I need to hold? Help, stuck in middle of job, need this sucker changed! Thanks guys!

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Never mind, got it! 5/8 spanner to hold rear, did the trick!! Thanks anyway!

POST 3Original post

Sounds like time to replace - there's no way the belt tensioner should be doing what you describe.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

There was a 15mm nut at back..tightened with wrench and all ok! Thank you!

POST 5Original post

You are doing it wrong. The tensioner needs to be swung to remove the belt. What you did was remove the tensioner roller. If you try to pu it back, you'll have to fight the tensioner spring pressure and can easily cross thread it.

Read up, lol!! I know it needs to swing, but the 24mm nut needs to stay static. A quick tighten on the 15mm rear nut got it nice and tight and I could swing it up like normal..no problem! Thanks for help! Cheers, --H
