Belt tension?!
Excuse the nooby queston but where is the belt tension nut for the SC belt? I was going to install my new pulley but where the heck is this 15mm nut my ZZP instructions mentions? And if anyone could a picture with a arrow always help .
Thanks for the help everyone.

I don't have a pic. But looking at the belt side of the motor, look at the alternator, then down about 5 inches and right about 4 inches. It'* pretty much the only pulley that is a 15mm instead of a torx head.
I'll never know why one is torx and the other is socket...

This one right?
Cuz the other tensioner pulley is for the other belt which I'm not worried about.
And yeah my blets are crappy and have new ones.

The SC tensioner pulley is held on by the torx bolt shown in your pic. I don't know what the ZZP nut is for tho. Here is some info I used to change my sc tensioner pulley. The only nut I know for a tensioner is on the tensioner pullley for the other belt. What pulley exactly did you get from ZZP? Tensioner, sc tensioner, or sc (like on the nose drive)?

I bought the Modular pulley setup from ZZP. I was just very confused about looseing the belt tension cuz the instrustions said it was a 15mm nut but that was for the other belt. I need to lossen the tension on the sc belt and I'm also going to change to my idler pulley to a 3.5" (compared to 3") O-well I didn't have torx bits quite that large so I'm going to go buy a large set tomorrow so I can change that pulley and feel the power.
I will freak out if my tensionor setup breaks like yours did Echo.
Thanks for the help

Double check the part number with them. Both tensioners on my 95 are 15mm bolts.

This is stock, one tension is a 15mm nut the other is Torx.
But it doesn't look like I'm going to get my pulley in today... But hopefully I will be able to. I was just getting in my car to go pick up a new set of torx bits and bam! my starter is just clicking, this starter isn't even a month old.....
