Great pictures. I assembled the tensioner onto the car, all looked good. Tensioner pulley was not resting on water pump pulley. As soon as I put the belt on it pulled the tensioner pulley up against the water pump pulley again and there it rests, AGAIN. I have tried to adjust it. As soon as I start to run the nut down on the adjusting rod (ccw), it pulls through the bracket. Once its through the bracket it just runs down the rod. No adjustment. Same for the opposite direction. It appears as if the bracket would serve no purpose, as if I was just running a nut up and down the rod. I don't get it. What am I not getting? I've been fixing cars and airplanes for 20+ years and for some reason I can't get this back together. Is there such a thing as "mechanics block" like writers block? Help, I am out of patience. One more day and I send it to the local dealer. I have spent way too many hours on this.
