Replace 99 Olds Aurora Accessory Belt Tensioner & Belt

I finally got the money together to fix my Oldsmobile Aurora. I ordered an accessory belt tensioner and belt from Amazon with free 2 day shipping due to having Amazon Prime.

The job itself went very fast and easy. I had the shield removed already in order to see what parts I needed so half the job was nearly done.

The two bolts which held the shield in place had to be removed next. This allowed me to remove the belt tensioner pully assembly. Next I was able to remove the old belt.

The belt was actually in very good shape considering that the pulley had been broken in half.

But I put in the new belt anyway and will keep the old belt as a spare.

And last I put the new tensioner pulley in place with its two retaining bolts.

I had to use a 13mm socket and wrench to compress the tensioner pulley spring so I could get the belt onto the pulley.

And then I put the shield back on with the two nuts. I am missing a bolt for the shield which I have to replace one day.

And last there is a plastic box that goes onto the air filter housing which I had removed to do the job.

And that was it.

I put the battery back into the car. I had it out because the car had been sitting for a while and I needed to recharge the battery.

And the car started right up.

Melanie and I went to town. We had been stranded at home for about ten days now.
