fauxden Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 So ive got a 86 gl. There are the two belts...the one that it more to the rear that has that tensioner pulley or whatever it is down closer to the driver side. Mine seized up. Do you actually need both the belts? It seems like they both wrap around the exact same stuff. Whats the point? And can I just rip the bearings out of that pulley and replace it or do I need to buy a new one? If so- where at? ps- i tried doing some searching but i'm an idiot so here i am posting. Also- im not 100% sure what the pulley is called. I pulled it out and its not hooked to anything integral to the running of the car so I was just assuming it was for holding tension or something like that. Thanks for the help!

GeneralDisorder Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 You should be able to drive a new bearing into the pulley. Just remove the old one and take it to any bearing house to have it matched up. The belt you are talking about probably runs the AC compressor. Yes you can remove it if you don't need AC since the other belt runs all the neccesary bits. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apagan69 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 On the EA82, the main pulley bolt turns off which direction? Is it a normal thread, or a reverse thread. I want to tear apart a block and I can't get the pulley bolt off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjw Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Nothing odd about the way the crank bolt comes off.Counterclockwise will loosen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
