stan6406 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 1986 Sunland Express 2.4 FI I was replacing belts and the ac belt seemed loose. Is this a tensioner? (spring loaded) or an adjuster (tighten belt tighten bolt)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Pictures?? I have not seen a spring tensioner, but there 2 bolt types. One adjusts with a socket and the other need a big wrench and a socket. I think there might be a move the compressor adjustment too.

stan6406 Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Didn't see an adjustment on the compressor first picture is where the pulley mounted second is the pulley I removed. Not sure if it just stays in adjustment from that one bolt or should there be more to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 You have the big wench and socket setup. The pulley has a hex casting behind it for the "big wrench", loosen the bolt tighten the belt and then retighten the bolt. Make sure the rotation of the belt is trying to tighten the belt. If you have the pulley on the wrong side of the pivot bolt the belt will try to loosen the belt over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
