jeremy Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 I replaced this last night when I put on a new drive belt....it fell apart on me when I went to remove the tension from the old belt I'm just glad that I caught it before it gave out while driving. The drive belt that was on the car was in good visual shape too, I just wanted to start replacing a few easy things as preventative measures. Half hour later, all was better Quote
rockfangd Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 oh thats just lovely i havent seen that happen yet. but if that ever happened to me it would be while i was driving the car Quote
Bossman429 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 I should have taken a pic of the one from my Beretta, it came out in pieces. I had needed to replace the belt for several years. The belt & tensioner are very easy to do with all that room under the hood of a W-body...the Beretta, not so much. Had about 1 inch of room to pull everything apart. Quote
5speedz34 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Jeremy-How many miles on the MC? Dan, I don't know what it is but 3800's (at least the L67's) go through pullies left and right. My buddies replaced at least 3 on his. Quote

BCM Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 My idler pulley squeaks, is that the tensioner or what? Probly a stupid question... Quote

Afubar Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 The belt & tensioner are very easy to do with all that room under the hood of a W-body... Sure it is, after you remove the radiator overflow. I feel for you, mine went out on the interstate headed home. Had to have it towed home. Quote
terryk2003 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 oh SNAP!...good thing you caught it! Quote
