Hey guys, my Dodge just came back from the shop and the guy kept goin on and on about how I needed a new belt and tensioner pulley for 200 bucks (HAH!) so I'm gonna swap it out myself. I was just wondering if there's gonna be any unforseen obstacles that I should look out for or special tools needed for the job. If anyone could give me a basic walkthrough of how exactly to do this that would be awesome! It seems pretty straightforward though. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

it's super easy... take a 15 mm wrench and release the tension on the pulley so the belt will come off, then 3 bolts (IIRC) and it's off. if it's just the wheel it'self, then it's only 1 bolt holding the wheel on.

 

There's a write-up here for changing the tensioner: https://dodgeforum.com/m_507439/tm.htm

 

Awesome. Thanks for the help guys.
