Hello,
I am trying to replace my tensioner pulley on my 99 cobra to stop some squeaking noise. I got the bolt off the pulley, but cant get the actually old pulley to budge out of there. Is there a trick to get it out, or harder hitting? Thanks!

Sean

nope...should come right out. Try wedging a prybar or screwdriver in there.

Are you trying to remove just the pulley? Im not sure you can do that. I just replaced mine and I had to remove the 3 bolts holding the tensioner assembly to the block, and then install a brand new assembly. You can either get a replacement aluminum assembly, or a slightly more expensive steel assembly, which comes with a new belt as well.

There should be no hitting or prying involved in this process.
