Guest SupraTroopa Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Basically i looked at the other threads and about loosening the 14mm tensioner bolt but i cant find the bolt to loosen? Anyone got any pictures? The top bit of my tensioner where I saw I looked at my tensioner and there is no bolt at the top, looks like a blanking plate? Anyone shed any light? Its a 1996 facelift tt6 Edited May 2, 2009 by SupraTroopa (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Looks like 2 bolts on the tensioner. Can you edit and point to the bit your on about? Ahh wait, thats not yours lol. Molegrips? I would get a proper replacement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SupraTroopa Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Thats what mine looks like pretty much so where do I loosen to remove the belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 You don't loosen anything. You use a breaker bar or something like that on the nut on the center of the idle pulley - turning it will lever the tensioner back against it's spring allowing you to take the belt off and replace it.
