I loosened the tensioner and then took the pulley off. But there was still a bracket that was directly in the way. I think it is the support bracket for the tensioner (it was getting dark and all I had was a shop light). So it seems as if I were close... Is that a support bracket for the tensioner assembly? It looked like it wouldn't go anywhere if I took the bolt out of the bracket.


I know for a fact that I couldn't get to that (shock) bolt with the pulley off (Just ask my lower back).

What next? Thanks so far.

I really would like to get rid of this rattle. Haha, I also thought this would be a quick job today.
