Accessory belt tensioner siezed today...
....it started to make a bit or racket last night and then today just froze solid. I've already got the parts on order, will be here tomorrow afternoon.
It looks liek a straight forward job but was wondering if any of you have tackled it yourself, is there anything I should be aware of?
Thanks
Eric

Well, its done, and wasn't that bad either. In the event any of you decide to tackle this on your own, be aware that the pulley and bearing are not included with the tensioner....you have to buy it seperatley.
Aside from one of the 3 bolts holding the tensioner to the block being hidden behind the pulley, they job went off without a hitch.
