It's easy.... Also do not drive the car because it can cause the timing to jump if it locks up...
Honestly if you have put this much time and work in this engine and being in dsm's since 2005 you should know what would happen if you drive the car.

Its spinning freely for now. It just started doing it on Sunday, at least thats when I first noticed it. Car has not been moved since nor started.

Damnit, guess I am SOL. Maybe I will just replace all the pullies in there while I am in there to make sure nothing else pops up.

 

Double checking this is the right part name so I can order it tomorrow.

Tension pully

 

I would have a close look at the crank pulley, check for signs of seperation. If it all checks out fine, bite the bullet and get that pulley changed before it causes a huge headache.

 

I was getting a squealing sound on start up it was the alternator.

Not the Alt, I used a piece of fuel line as a stethoscope to pin point the location of the sound.

Its for sure not the crank pully.

 

Good to know then, it's a pretty straight forward fix in this case. Get the tensioner pulley and be done with it.

 

Yeah.. I just freaking hate doing timing. I also dont have anything to compress the tensioner with hehe. Looks like I am going to have to make a drive to the nearest vice this weekend.

Alright, your gonna hate me or love me for this, but you can compress the tensioner by compressing it inbetween your car and a floor jack. I swear to God it works great I just had to do it like 6 times this weekend before I got my timing perfect. I did my timing while the engine was in my car and it wasnt that hard since I had done it before. Just give it a chance and alotta patience.

 

You can also use your battery tie down or any 8mm/1.25 thread threw the whole under where the FPR is. There is a little plug.

Unless you still have the AC compressor on your car, then its a pain the ass!! lol.

 

Has the pully been revamped? Picked this up from mitsu today.

That looks like the pulley on my 7-bolt. Hopefully it'll work for your 6 bolt.

 

I have a 7 bolt.
