Fan Belt Tensioner

Gilly:

I see the nut and the rod it all looks together no breaks and is attached the the cam on the back of tensioner. Looks like there are two threaded pieces the rod runs though. The top nut seems to be in the top of the Flange the rods and nuts go throgh. looks like this flange has a smaller part that the nut pushes on, I can not get the nut or nuts to loosen to see if this is the problem.
Is there two threaded peices that ride on the THREADED RO?

Tried to split the nuts and was unable to do so. Thoght maybe one was supposed to be on top in groove in flange?

Thanks Brian

Hmmmm, seriously out of synchronization with the other thread, don't you think?

The nut goes under the sheetmetal bracket (the wide part of the nut should be underneath, anyways, and the hex part you wrench on pokes up from underneath so you can get to it). Sounds like this is what the problem is.
Unsure what other threaded part the rod goes through. It should only go through that weird-shaped hole in the bracket and that's it. But again, the NUT goes through the hole from underneath, it is a little trick to reassemble all this properly.

Fan Belt Tensioner

Gilly

Thank you!
My misunderstanding of picture and nut as two prieces. How do I go about getting this part off the tensioner? I have loosend the power steeritng pump and no room to get this rod and nut off. Since the nut is jut turning and nothing happens looks like I have to get it off and replace whatever is broken ( maybe I stripped the rod?)

Can you provide R & R for this rod assembly please!

Thank you Brian

Tensioner threaded Rod

Gilly

Sorry bout that! 126 chassis 30SE 1988.

Is it possible to replace the threaded rod without taking Fan off?

Thanks Brian

To try doing it that way, man I don't even know if that's possible or not, it'd be tough. You could try removing just the pulley on the tightener, but I don't think you'd have enough room. There is that metal clip that holds the rod to the piece on the back of the tensioner, so you'd have to unclip the old one and remove the rod, then slip the new one in (keeping the nut under the bracket) and reclip it. I just don't know if you can do it.
To do it right you'd need to remove the big "Y" shaped bracket in front of the tesioner, and remove the large central bolt that holds the tenioner to the accessory bracket. To remove the Y piece you need to remove all 3 bolts, and the one seperate bolt in by the timing cover you almost would have to remove the pulley that drives the fan, and to remove that, the fan has to be removed.

fan belt tensioner Tod and Nut

Gilly

Thank You for your help!

I see what you see. May possible to remove clip but no way to get it on again EH!

I replaced the water pump and tensiner and shock 6 months ago with you rhelp, so good news is I have done it.

A little more carefull and the nut wouldn't have striped: that is part of the joy of working on your own car!

Thanks Agin
Brian
