ricsvtr Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hi can someone please explain what the tensioner spring actually does? Is it neccessary to replace the spring when you replace the tensioner bearing?

RANDY Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 The spring pushes the tensioner into the belt harder... so it takes up the slack. Unlikely that you'd need to replace it. On the V6 commodores it's quite handy to take the fan/AC/alternator belt off without undoing anything. ;o) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/152436-tensioner-spring/#findComment-2837096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla32 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 From memory its just to serve as an auto adjustor before you lock it. Dont bother replacing it, but make sure you replace the stud and bolt that secure both the idler and tensioner bearings.
