Ok well I've finally had a little time on my hands and decide to do the drive belts on the 4runner. I got it a little over 2yrs ago and haven't done much to it, so I figured it was time for a little love. ANYWAYS....everything was going smoothly until the tensioner bolt for the AC Idler pulley snapped off on me. Now I'm curious as to whether theres a way to get the adjustment screw and the bolt that the pulley sits on to come off the bracket. I looked at it and haven't been able to get it off. Anyone one every deal with this or have any insight that could help me out? Damn rust is being a pain in my arse.

 

Man that sucks. I just changed my a/c belt tonight. I think you will have to take the whole contraption off to get to it. I'm also geussing that it is a dealer only item or salvage yard.

 

Well lucky for me I have a spare motor sittingin my garage so I just pulled the tensioner bolt off of it. The whole things comes off rather easily but the one on my truck was soo rusted it was a real PITA. All seems well.
