Tensioner Pulley?

[69clark]

Just wondering if the bolt that holds the pulley onto the tensioner is regular thread or reversed thread. Its so tight, I am afraid to get mean with it and break it, being I don't know which way to turn it. I definately will have to use air to break it loose but I want to go the right way.

I remember it being a standard thread. I will check it again when I get home just to make sure. Stay Tuned!

Im pretty sure its regular thread. Make sure that its well lubed. That bolt gets really rusty for some reason.

Definitely regular thread

I seem to recall the same as everyone else but I'm not totally sure.

As you untension a belt, your are tightening the bolt (otherwise the bolt would come undone after a few belt removals).

Sorry to not remember for sure (I knew it for a week after I replaced the pulley. ).

the pulley or the actually tensioner assembly? I know the assembly bolt is regular not sure on the pulley bolt tho.

Like mentioned it is for sure a regular thread.

Verified by Craftsman. Regular threads.

Thanks guys, however after reading everyones post I realize that because of my supercharger, my car utilizes a fox tesioner, I would assume the same still applies.

Now Tom, wise man you are for asking. The reason for my lack of certainty before is because I DO believe I recall the fox pulley-thread being reverse of the SN95 pulley. And since the SN pulley is standard thread, I'm quite sure the fox one is Left hand thread. I have a faint recollection of almost snapping my bolt off (on the '88) when replacing the pulley.

EDIT: Here's an old reply of mine regarding both tensioner pulleys (this was before I had the '94, so the first-hand experience/comments of mine in the thread are about the '88's pulley):
