Replacing S/C tensioner pulley

Post by dakotapalm »

I apologize if there is another thread about this question, but I tried the search function, and found nothing. How do I remove the pulley of the tensioner on the Supercharger belt? Thank you- I appreciate the help.

Aha. Now that I replaced it, I feel rather foolish for the question. Seemed there had to be some sort of trick to it, but it was simple as you said.

It would have been so so so helpful if one of you had mentioned that the bolt is left-hand threaded (before I twisted mine off).
