Hey all,
Ive been reading up on some posts on changing your accessory belt.. and I ordered the new belt for my 5.0, and am ready to change it over.
From what I understood from some of the posts, is that the tensioner is reverse threaded and you have to rotate it clockwise to loosen it, i tried doing this with a ratchet and a 19mm socket, and it dont want to budge, i pulled on it real hard and she didnt move. Am i goin about this the wrong way? Should i be pulling on the pulley bolt down to the right to get more leverage? Should I just stick with the regular 19mm bolt on the tensioner and find a way to get more leverage? I dont know whether the spring is just sticky or im just not strong enough haha..
Anyways, heres a picture if that helps at all.. any help would be appreciated.
