Supercharged 2 Posted February 6, 2007 It's just a spring tensioner with a bearing roller, to detension you just use an M8x80 Bolt into the hole provided... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattkh 0 Posted February 7, 2007 It's just a spring tensioner with a bearing roller ... Thanks supercharged. When the engine is off, I notice that there is a half inch gap between the circular part on the right and the belt. It is bolted on with the three bolts on the left. With three bolts holding it in place, how does the circular part rest on the belt ? Is there a hole in the bottom part of the circular bit thru which the bearing comes out when the engine is running. I cannot feel any hole there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 7, 2007 Have a look at this wiki article - should become clear... http://www.the-corrado.net/wiki/index.p ... ley_repair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigowl 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Probably not significant, but remember serpentine belt and its route around pulleys (with there being one extra for a/c) is different to non a/c car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
