Drive Belt TENSIONER: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 1995 Ford RV Cutaway, 1995 Ford Pickup, 1995 Ford F-Super Duty, 1995 Ford Econoline, and 1995 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Excessive rearward force on the bolt during removal may over-stress and crack the tensioner bracket.

NOTE: Pulleys being replaced for suspected bearing wear should be evaluated for rough bearings. Bearing noise which continues or rapidly returns after a replacement pulley is installed is usually belt chirp rather than worn bearings. Bearings should rotate smoothly with a slight resistance due to the permanent lubrication.
