hey guys i have a 92 firebird. here is my prob.

my tensioner arm is coming undone (where the spring is). the actually pully is ok.

this things looks like a PITA to change.

ANy ideas or advice? i cant seem to make it stay on so i would like to replace it. I hope i dont have to replace that entire acessor bracket.

thanks,
shane

 

SB2,

The belt tensioner is about a $35-45 item at most parts stores. It's easier to change than a water pump.

NAPA P/N NBH-38118

 

thanks vader!

im trying to find a pic of this so i can make sure its the right thing..

how did you know the napa p/n? there isnt a napa anywhere near me, but im sure i can cross reference.

thanks again!

 

This is on a '91, but it should be close:

 

that is correct. the tensioner ARM has come off, the pulley is fine.

is that part # he refrenced still what i need?

thanks guys!

Shane
