Hi,
i am trying to replace the alternator on my wifes sunfire. it is a 1997 with the 2.2 engine.i can not find the belt tensioner to save my life. there is only one idler pully in the engine and it is a thru bolt not a spring loaded tensioner. the othe pulleys all do something, water, ac, crank steering, alt. when i remove the idler pulley, it has an allen bolt that appears to attach to the block, is this the tensioner, and if so how do you get a tool in there, because when installed, the pulley is almost flush with the block. thanks in advance. a cupla pics
Fig. 1: The belt tensioner is released by rotating the tensioner pulley bolt in a CLOCKWISE direction 2.2L engine
