Question

I have a 1994 Plymouth Gran Voyager with the 3.8 engine with a/c .The bearing in the pulley on my belt tensioner is wearing out,wobbling a little and starting to chirp. Can I replace just the pulley,or do I need to replace the entire tensioner assembly? If I can just replace the pulley how do I go about doing that? Thanks, XXXXX X.

Accepted Answer

Yes, If its just the pulley going bad, They sell those seperately for about $25.00 at local parts stores. Its simple to change, Just remove the belt by releaseing the tensioner, Then remove the 1 bolt going through the pulley and it pulls off by hand.

Mike,Thanks, do I put a socket on that center bolt to release the tensioner? also my Napa store doesn't have the exact size pulley,It goes about 4". The closest 6 groove pulleys they have are 5" and 3-1/2" will either of these work? Thanks, XXXXX X.

Answer

yes, put a socket on the the tensioner to release it. And no you cant use a different size pulley. If they cant order it, go to a different partsstore
