tenssioner bouncing
Hi all,
I had a tapping sounds when I was driving and I've tracked it down to the tensioner arm bouncing.
The belt is a Gator and about a year old.
Does this sounds like a tensioner issue?
I see the tensioner part is 1/2 the price of the tensioner assembly. HOw difficult is it to replace just the part?
Thanks!

OK. I orderd a new tenssioner assembly. I got most of the bolts off of it but the second from the bottom I'm having a lot of trouble with.
The bottom one holds the pipe that connects to the lim. I got that one off, but the one above it I can't follow to where it connects. Looks like behind the water pump.
Any advice on how to get that bugger off?
Thanks

I did what I do best and jumped in.
I had to bend pipe #3, put the alternator back on and used a breaker bar to get out that stud.
If I didn't put the alternator back on the whole tensioner assembly rotated. I guess I could have put a bolt back in the tensioner, but then I would have to align the bolts.
