"Ain't nobody got time for that"! I laughed mynass off when you said that! This was a great video! Most guys make you listen to a few minutes of music and fancy waste of time video, like they are a show on a tv channel, as well as always talk about what they already done to the car or what's in their garage, or what the weather is like today, blah.blah blah.. I watch these videos because I need to know how too!! And your video was precise and to the point with helpful suggestions and areas where u came across difficulties and how you over came them!! Awesome video! Thank you for sharing it!!!
Pulley bolt size?
That's a funny weakness of ratcheting wrenches that can't be reversed. Like driving a car into a parking spot with no reverse gear, ha ha.
I have a 2001 Saturn its a sc2 with same sohc1.9 my belt failed on me Christmas night yay.
Im planning to buy the belt from autozone. Could I get by just replacing the belt?
Where did you buy the Gates tensioner? Advance Auto parts, Autozone GM dealer
I need it asap Cause its my only car right now, need fix this before work
What do you do when you strip the tensioner ?
In that new model of the Belt Tensioner can you remove the Pulley, like on the original one. I think it doesn't come off. I tried on a new BT I ordered (not original one) and the only thing you can do with that bolt on the pulley, it acts on the spring inside. Can you take it off?
1:55. does not want to get his dirty hands dirty. and why do you morons never give wrench sizes? is that too difficult for your little foreign minds?
Would this make a clanking sound if it's bad? It seems like the sound disappears once it goes past 40 mph. Please help. Thanks
What size wrench
Amigo Yo Tengo Uno Saturn 98 sl2 ..me Pues Ayudar. Se Prende Y Apaga se Ahago
Great video
I finally find someone that works on the same year model as my Saturn thank you, liked and subbed.
Love the comedy
With the belt tensioner removed can the idler pulley be removed from the bottom?
Thank you.
I have a question. When the belt tensioner is free of the belt and I spin the tensioner by hand it makes noise. Is there supposed to be any noise in the belt tensioner?
Thank you.
Oem only, all the aftermarkets are garbage.
I am replacing the same part with a Gates as well, and I notice the design doesn't mate the surface like OEM, leaving an exposed gap, just like yours.
Any update of problems with this vehicle?
The tensioner I got doesn't even look like that. The bolt is recessed, which makes it impossible to just stick a 14mm belt extension bar down there.
How much did you pay for that part? I have the same car
OEM pully bolt is 15, but the replacement I got hold of is a 14.
go viral please.lmfao
Is it still lasting? I bought it waiting for it to get here.
What happen to the build??
Thumbs up Jonathan!
The new pulley looked like a smaller diameter. Does that matter? Also, I'd be hard pressed to give you a thumbs down!! Never! 🙂
That's a job that I can handle!
