if you know any info about the pulley under the alternator i think its the tensioner but i really dont know much about cars, because i was trying to put the belt on but i think i oversprung a spring or something, all i do know is i screwed sumthin up

can you be a little more descriptive of what you did nad what the problem is now?

maybe put your year and engine type in your sig for starters.

sorry im new at this whole thing. Its a 96 ssei 130,000 miles the problem is i need to know if the tensioner pulley if oversprung can be resprung or just needs replacing.

The tensioner and pulley are actually two seperate pieces. The pulley is a reverse threaded bolt.

If the tensioner is no longer working properly, you should replace it. To my knowledge they are not a repairable part.

also the SC pulley right behind a engine mount is melted. how do i re move it?

can any one estimate a price for a tune-up (oil,filters,etc.), CAI, Paint, and racing wheels and tires.

The SC pulley is melted????



Tuneup - 50 bucks

CAI - under 80 if you do a home made cai

Paint? $2000 is normal for a decent job that looks factory


Racing wheels? depends on size and quality of the tires.

Let'* not stray on the topics that are unrelated to the pulley topics, K?

You can't melt a SC pulley. I think we need a better description or a picture of what you're talking about.

Can you PLEASE put "96 SSEi" in your signature?

yes please put your car in your sig


and pics always help in the diag. of problems
