- With the right tools it's easy to change a squeaky tensioner pulley without removing the complete tensioner arm. Tools needed: 19mm socket or wrench with long handle or cheater pipe, 21mm wrench or adjustable wrench 10mm socket, M10S specialty socket link to it below: www.amazon.com/Drive-M10S-TOY...
Excellent video! It was really helpful to provide the part numbers for the tensioner pulley and for the special socket. The before and after segments demonstrating the difference between a “good” and “bad” sounding pulley was awesome!! Thank you.
Man you just save me from destroying my car. I was getting frustrated because i couldn’t get the pulley out but with this video you saved me a headache. Great video sir!!
even tho its been 9 years, thanks alot for posting this video! made replacing tensioner pulley on my son's '06 corolla a breeze. I had a much easier time accessing the pulley from underneath the car, after removing the wheel and bottom shroud.
Van R, thanks a lot for this very well made video. It's exactly what I have been looking for but couldn't find, and like you said, all the diy vids have been on replacing the whole tensioner assembly. Wishing for a long and happy life for you and your family ☺️
I loosened that tensioner bolt by placing a 9/16 box wrench around it then inserted six 3/32 drill bit shanks into the polts recesses for a near perfect fit. I did this with the tensioner assembly mounted in a vice.
That is the socket I was looking for. Thank you.
I picked it the serpentine belt tool kit at Harbor Freight for around $20 last week. Nice leverage using it.
Cheers for the heads up on this tool. Checking eBay for one now as I had a slight squeal the other day which didn't last long, but for the price of this tool, it's good to have for when it does go as they always do.
Great content, very informative. Much appreciated!
There is a work around to get the proprietary bolt out. You need a 9/16 box wrench and six 3/32 drill bits. Mount the tensioner in a vice pully up. Hold the 9/16 box around the pully bolt and insert the 3/32 drill bit shanks into the bolt slots between it and the wrench. This makes for a perfect fit that did not slip off.
Good morning, very informative video, Thank you Pauly Peka
Some corolla models, European ones have a T50 TORX bolt to open the tensioner pulley, this was in my case. i ordered TORX Key set (it was an extra long one to ensure sufficient force is applied) to open this bolt. T50 TORX Bit with adapter was not coming due to tight space between chasis and pulley.
I was going to just remove the pulley to re-pack the bearing until I noticed it was a weird polyribe bolt. I figured I could make an E-Torx socket fit with some persuasion but I had to remove the tensioner assembly. Once removed I was able to lightly hammer an E-18 torx socket on the pulley bolt to remove it. It worked perfectly and barely damaged the head of the bolt.
nice vid bud, really good info.
Thanks! This really helps. Since I don't have the tool, I'll just wait to replace the pulley.
Thx for tip on tool. Worked 👍
It's funny must have been listening in on my conversations because I did not look up this video but for some reason it showed up
Thanks for sharing this. I really appreciate it as my serpentine belt that I just replaced her go. I didn’t change my oil on time and I think oil started making the belt slip destroying the belt so now I think the idler pulley spins very fast so I’m going to replace that.
Awesome. Thanks!
Hello and thanks for the video.
