Wish me luck.
My rattle and squeak are due to a missing bushing on the belt tension damper (the part on the left as you face the block). I know I need to replace that part. It looks like Fastlane has a couple of choices for this part (W0133-162630). New belt will go on, too.
I have been reading related threads to prepare. I know that I will need to remove the fan and shroud. I am prepared for the possibility that I will need to loosen the water pump pulley for clearance on the lower bolt.
My question is whether there are other items that would be good to replace while I am in there. As I mentioned, new belt is certain. One thread mentioned replacing the spring at the same time (the part on the right). If I can find a source for that I can do it, too. It looks like it hooks in, so I hope it is easier than I expect the damper to be.
Thanks for any suggestions. Helpful advice is also welcome.
Regards,
Tom
