Changing water pump and want to remove the drivebelt tensioner to better access the bolts underneath it. I have a Haynes for this model but can not find any information so far on removing the tensioner.
Any help is appreciated.
BradHow to remove drivebelt tensioner. 99 Taurus SE 3.0L OHV?Remove the belt first, just use a closed end wrench on the bolt for the pulley to release the tension. After the belt is of there is one bolt in the middle of the tensioner pivot, remove that bolt and the tensioner will come right off.How to remove drivebelt tensioner. 99 Taurus SE 3.0L OHV?The tension pulley has a square hole in its center. Use the square end of a ratchet wrench to unload the tension pulley pressure while removing the serpentine belt. No need to remove the tension pulley, just unload the spring on the tension pulley by applying reverse force on the tension pulley to loosen the serpentine belt.
Should be in the Haynes manual.
