I cant get the surpentine tensioner pully off. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this. i took the plastic wall off in the wheel well but i cant fit anything in there to remove the pully and there isnt enough room once i get it unbolted to pull it out.

 

have you tried to unbolt the side motor mount (with a jack and block of wood under it of course) and very (i can't stress very enough) carefully lower the engine past the side rail untill you can get the pulley off. Or if that doesn't work you could go up instead of down.


Please be very careful when doing this as not to dent the oil pan or slam the moter into anything or bend any of the exaust............just be carefull and do every thing slowly

 

its a t-50 screw inside the tensioner pulley.. a t-50 on the bolt to the piston and a 6mm allen to the block..

oh wait you have a 2.2... .. should be one 6mm allen head bolt still.... use an allen key

 

i gave up on it. the car is out of commission for now. i'm currently out to sea and my wife is going to let her sister take tow the car to her autotech school and they are going to set the timing for me using the instructions i printed off form jbody.org
