Tensioner pully

[cj_92Bronco]

So im trying to replace my tensioner pully, but its so damn tight on there i dunno what else to do besides what ive been trying. i cant loosen the bolt holding it on there, i tried spraying WD40 and letting it sit then trying using my wrench to take it off but its way too damn tight. I even tried to take a short pipe and attach it to my wrench for a little extra leverage, but it didnt do shit. anyone got some suggestions?

thanks a lot guys

Just outta curiosity, did you try going the other way? I'm pretty sure they are reverse threads tgho keep the rotation of the pully from backing it off. Other than that, you may just want to replace the whole tensioner.

yo! there ya go! good chob jersey!

Use T-50 torx bit; it Does have right-hand thread

& put a wrench on the pulley bolt to break loose the mounting bolt.
