Idk if it's right, but walking it on does suck lol.

 

[deepsouthtech]

Not too bad once I read the manual and removed the tensioner to get it out of the way.

Good work.

 

[deepsouthtech]

LOL, agreed

 

[Chuck@Evolution]

Yes, right part number. Once you done it a dozen times, its pretty easy.............

Just to let any other retards such as myself know, you can't walk it on from the front of the crank pulley.

I would have walked it too. Chin up and thanks for the gouge.

Would this help the tick from the "stretchy ac belt" tsb? I hate bringing my car into the dealer so if I can id rather replace it myself

The tsb you're referring to replaces the whole front timing cover and adds an idler pulley, tensioner, and a longer single belt. This takes the stretchy belt out of the equation. The good thing about the tsb is you get a new style front cover which is smooth and has all of the ribs removed. The belt hits the ribs on the front cover causing a slight knocking noise so I would take it in for the new style just to get the new cover if it was me. Problem I had is the new tensioner and pulley are in the spot where the supercharger bracket goes. I removed both of those and put a new stretchy belt on which is a real pain in the ass to get on. I have not had the noise come back from the stretchy belt after replacing it with the new cover however. So the new style cover may be the fix by itself.
