chaz g60 0 Posted August 4, 2005 i have done a search but found nothing relevant i need to get my charger off to g-werks but i live in spain and trust no local garages (if you live here you probally no why!) is there any step by step instructions anywhere? and can a non mechanical person like myself do this at home from what i can tell the difficulty is the tensioner spring? any advise appreciated??

bix 0 Posted August 4, 2005 Tensioner spring is the easy bit, the hard bit is getting it out with taking the rear mount off the engine(on the front of the block), supposedly it will come out with the pulley off, without taking the mount off, mine didnt seem to wanna tho, and the mount was a bit of a bastard to get off!

W3RKD 0 Posted August 4, 2005 There is NO need to remove that rear mount. you only need to remove the pulley is std size and you dont need to remove the alternator either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bix 0 Posted August 4, 2005 Ah well, Ill be having another go soon, but I did try every conceivable way to get it out with the front mount on...maybe I just didnt pull hard enough :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaz g60 0 Posted August 11, 2005 right i got it off not to hard but some awkard bits any way before i send it from spain to g-werks can anyone tell me anything from the pics is it worth getting done? is it ok and doesnt need doing? it looks clean inside and the apex seals are where they should be but im new to this its the first time ive taken one off so i've got no comparisons cheers.
