This is the belt tensioner.
In this pic, it's completely loosened, with the lower tab off its
locating pin. |
In this pic, you can see the lower tab on its locating pin.
I found it easiest to get the tab back on the pin without the spring on,
put the belt on, then replace the spring. |
Make sure you pay
attention to the service manual on proper procedure before tightening
the tensioner. I'd read other
write-ups about this service and none mentioned having to rotate the
belt 2-4 times before tightening the bolt on the tensioner.
