When I did my nightmare of a installation for my battery & started her up I noticed my supercharger belt tensioner was bouncing(the one under the coil packs). Its making a rattle noise I thought was coming from the supercharger, verified the location with a long screwdriver to the ear. I have removed the belts before, but never removed a tensioner.
What tools are required?/ what socket do I use to remove it? Anything special I need to do to take it off? Torque specs?

I plan on doing this in the next week or so, its been making the rattle for about 2 weeks now.

 

It's held on by the same bolt you use to move the tensioner IIRC

 

Not the pulley bolt, the actual tensioner.

 

It's been a while.

But if that bolt doesn't remove it, there is a smaller nut/bolt in the middle of the tensioner that should. Not sure of the size, but probably a 10mm or 13mm

 

Just for future knowledge, the bolt is a 15mm. in the tensioner itself that is. Just had to do a belt swap for new pulley.

 

I've already gotten the job done, please note the date the thread was created!

 

No I definitely saw the date, I was curious so I searched on here and found this without an answer. So I decided to make an answer so if anyone else does what I just did they would have the answer lol. were all good!!!!

 

awesome, thats understandable
