Replacing AC belt tensioner question

[Q-Tizzle]

i was jus wondering how hard it would be to replace my ac belt tensioner??? for my b18a1???

ac belt tensioner? isn't the Compressor what adjusts the tension?

 

[master_tech]

it has a separate ac pulley which is mounted to a bracket with a 12mm bolt. you will also need to loosen the 12mm lock nut and 10mm belt tension adjustment bolt. it also helps to remove the power steering pump and swing it out of the way. this will give you plenty of room to replace that ac pulley ..good luck

There is an idler pulley on the A/C bracket, that might be what he means.

Idler Pully, A/C Belt Tensioner, all used to describe the same part.

It took me about 30 mins to remove the old one and put a new one in.
