Can anyone tell me if the bolt that holds the tensioner assembly is left or right hand threads. Thanks

 

Are you talking about trying to remove the pulley or remove the entire tension assembly.?

It is right hand thread, if I remember right. No reason for it to be left hand.

 

its all regular right handed threads. i think the only left handed thread on the whole truck is the fan?

Nope even that is right handed. Tensioner bolt is right handed as well.

 

X2 with TJ, the pulley of the belt tensioner is LEFT HAND, also the Stand pipe inside the fuel bowl (canister). I would like to know what else?.

IIRC I have read that some nuts fan are left hand thread Caseydudem??

 

QUESTION:
Is the idler on the belt tensioner replaceable?? And is that the Nut/Bolt that is in question? or the one that secures the tensioner to the engine?

I'm really confused as to what part we are discussing!!

We also have a conflict as to how the threads are cut, RH or LH??

I am pretty sure this thread is asking about the right hand thread bolt that hold the tensioner to the engine bracket.

 

Thanks Guys!! I knew that the pully mounted to the assmebly was left handed threads but didnt know about the main one its not wanting to break free. Thanks alot!!

 

lol i guess i should have read the sticker on the fan shroud thats says "fan has right handed threads." derrr
