    FANTASTIC lighting in this video 🔦
    a few things I'll point out to those watching:
    - DON'T cheap out on the tensioner pulley. I bought the $40 pulley on Amazon and it gave out 1 year later. OEM is the way to go! I linked an OEM tensioner pulley in my video for about $100
    2) 3:20 Try not to rest the coolant reservoir tank on a hot catalytic converter because it could melt the plastic
    3) 11:33 DON'T over-torque the 8mm hex bolt, it should only be about 17 lb ft., this can strip the bolt as it's aluminum housing
    4) Using two wrenches interlocked can make it a lot easier for leverage to pull back on the tensioner pulley

    Love the video!! about to change my tensioner myself this weekend. I’m a large guy with fatter hands lol 😅, would it be much easier if I was to remove the alternator to get to the 12 mm bolt? Please let me know.

    • @FourDRanch
      @FourDRanch  Рік тому

      I don’t think it would help that much! I would try with long wrenches or extensions first, before taking off the alternator. It’s hard to get the belt back on the pulleys on the bottom, so try to leave it in place. Thanks for watching!

      No need to take off the alternator but it is hard getting into those tight places and you have to have a good back for bending over. Great video and very precise!!!

    • @FourDRanch

      Thanks for watching, I'm pretty sure it was a 17mm to release the tension on that bolt.

      @@FourDRanch are you serious? he meant the size of the bolt to remove the tensioner. your just grabbing tools, a lot of us just came to know the bolt head sizes. the 17mm tension bolt sticks out like a sore thumb, you cant miss that one

    would it have been easier to just replace the pulley itself with the new bearings. unless the plunger was also bad.?

    • @FourDRanch
      @FourDRanch  Рік тому

      It’s very hard to find the pulley for sale alone. I tried, but most all part suppliers only sold the component with the plunger. No the plunger was not bad at all, just the bearing in the pulley.

      TRUE! I just made a video replacing the aftermarket one I bought and changed just one year ago so this is my second time changing it
      Found it oem for about $100!

      He put a gates on which is really good. its oem for some manufacturers, honda used to be top tier but these newer parts they manufacture or use as their oem parts are not how they used to be, quality has gone downhill through the years.
