Serpentine belt removal question

Post by conesare2seconds »

Hi everyone. I need to have my alternator rebuilt and have been putting it off for almost a year because I'm a little scared of the belt tensioner. Callaway replaced the idler pulley with a secondary oil pump (hope that's an accurate description). Is the idler pulley function retained? In other words, what is the same or different from the regular C4 when it comes to releasing the tension from and removing the serpentine belt?

It's the exact same, just push down on the tensioner and slip the belt off. It's a bit of a job but can be done by one guy.
