Sometimes the little things are very rewarding....I cleaned and painted the LS front wheel liners a few months ago and although I'm not ready to install yet...figured it would be better to have them together with the correct bolts and u-nuts...as I didn't tag everything....so using the RS as my guide...makes putting what goes where very easy...plus having the FSM....the pics...[emoji16]
Pic #2...Quite a difference from what I started with...
Pic #3...Although not 100% perfect...very acceptable to go back on the 94....can't wait...but still more to do....
Pic #4...Even though I have extra hardware...the RS still not totally disassembled as of yet...makes the LS a breeze to assemble....20210129_184015.jpg20210129_184019.jpg20210129_184029.jpg20210129_144922.jpg

As long as your....?and then some? doesn?t end up with as many posts as the ?two word game? you?re good! 🤣 Take care and best wishes always!! 🤙🏼

Finished the first real stripping and cleaning of the RS wheel well liners..and getting ready for paint.....interesting to note that since the ZR-1 has a wider stance from the front doors back...it really starts with the front rear wheel liner which is ZR-1 specific....having 2 part #'s on the back...and also date produced....20210205_152637.jpg20210205_152849.jpg20210205_152642.jpg20210205_153002.jpg

So today I decide to take a break from cleaning and take apart the two belt tensioners....following the instructions from mgbrv8....the newer Dayco unit came apart fairly easy...I just need the correct tools to remove the spring and take apart the rest of the original tensioner...
Also followed recommendation from secondchance about the replacement metal pulley...just in case...
So I do an unscientific test...as I am no scientist by any stretch and find that the original pulley is probably on its way out.....due to the excessive free spin and the noise I am hearing when spinning...sounding like the bearing is shot...
So here are a few videos and some pics....all 3 pulleys have a looser fit on the original shaft ...and a much tighter fit on the parts replacement stud....although when tighten on the original stud...there is no play...
Cannot post video here...will do in the FB Group...
Pic #1...taking apart the parts replacement pulley...
Pic #2...need to remove this spring...
Pic #3...original pulley on the left...replacement on the right...both bolts have markings of 32 on them and are the exact same size...
Pic #4...metal pulley recommended by secondchance....20210215_151534.jpg20210215_151618.jpg20210215_155505.jpg20210215_163212.jpg
