Subject:HELP!!!!! EV serpentine belt tension
From:Bob O Shaughnessy
Date:Sun, 1 Sep 2002 14:55:37 -0400

I've got a buddy with a 93 EV who's on the phone with me right now from
Cleveland.  He's broken his serpentine belt.

    He's got the correct belt, but can't figure out how to get it back on
and tensioned.  He thinks that he has the tensioner at the top, but can't
figure out how to loosen it to get the belt around it.

    I've never even looked at a EV engine, but I'm guessing that it has an
eccentric tensioner like the one on my TDI timing belt.

    If anyone can give me info on how to do this so I can relay it to him it
would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
