I have decided to replace all of my Aluminum Belt Tensioner Pulleys with New Stock Belt Tensioner Pulleys.
This in spite of the fact that Jim had a Stock Pulley Cut in half by the Serpentine Belt at 60,000 miles
I use a ratcheting 18mm Box combination wrench (no angle on ratcheting end and since combination I can use another box wrench on open end for leverage).
I can now replace that Belt Tensioner in 10 min more or less (without removing anything else).
I lift the Belt Tensioner (flipping it 180 deg) up between the Alternator pulley and coolant pipe crossover
I use a 14 mm wrench for the Pulley bolt itself.
I do NOT do this job when engine is HOT
