Fan Belt replacement

[tommo457]

can anyone tell ne where i can find an exploded view of the front of a 4.6 v8 to help me diagnose my current dilemna.

there appears to be a tensioning pulley directly below the power steering box?(directly under the alternator) and it appears to have a smooth bearing fitted-not a v belt grooved bearing?

i'm wondering if it is easily replaced or if in fact its ok and i might have a bigger problem

thanks

Is that what you're after. Removing the serpentine belt & the tensioner is easy.

This is for the Thor V8
103059

This is the Gems V8
103060

I had to remove the tensioner assembly on mine recently in order to replace the dodgy oil pressure sender, which hides under the tensioner!

Hope his helps:D

The smooth is the idler pulley, the tensioner pulley is grooved. Unfortunately, the grooved pulley isn't available from Dayco in Oz as a separate item, one has to buy the whole tensioner. I got just the pulley from the USA when I was there on holiday.
