got the new cam sensor...looks like i need to remove the SC belt (and the other one?) to access the cam sensor.
i've never removed a belt before. is this something i can do on my own?
here's what I know (i think):
the auto belt tensioner has two main parts...the spring/pivot and the pulley wheel at the end of the arm which is touching the belt...
now i would think that i would put a wrench or socket on the spring/pivot and turn the it so as to raise the pulley wheel away from the belt...but the shop book says to turn the bolt on the pulley itself (18mm?)...i dont understand how that works...is that right? that seems counter-intuitive. is the pulley a free spinning wheel or is there some sort of mechanism in there? confused!
can someone explain this in detail how to remove a belt..you know, like i'm totally stupid. i'd like to try this tomorrow.
thanks!
