DISCUSSION:
The following information is in addition to the repair procedure found in the appropriate Service Manual, Group 9, camshaft and crankshaft timing
procedure and belt installation section.
The tensioner pivot bolt should never be tightened, loosened or removed. The bolt is installed at the manufacturer with a loctite adhesive that is not
reusable. If the tensioner pivot bolt is disturbed, the entire pivot bracket assembly (P/N 4777346) must be replaced. See illustration.
The pulley fastener that holds the pulley to the pivot bracket may be removed and reinstalled. It should then be torqued to 50 ft. lbs.
