90 k5 surpintine pulley

[Justin Fleming]

Can anyone confirm if the tensioner serpentine pulley is right hand thread or left hand thread. My pulley bearing is wore out and whining so I want to replace it. Apparently the bolt is frozen in, I just want to make sure I am going the correct direction before I break it.

thanks

Tensioner, idler or accessory?

The tensioner, I ended up pulling the threads out. Had to heat with torch....end of the day it was a left hand thread.....

Now I wonder if I can through bolt it with standard right hand thread bolt. In theory it should work as the inner race should bottom out and the outter should spin around it....
