'90 serpentine tensioner/pulley Q

[Minnesota]

So I'd like to replace my tensioner pulley, and of course the factory manual has basically no info on this. Question is:

Since you effectively go counter-clockwise on the pulley bolt to relieve belt tension, I tend to think the bolt itself is reverse threaded?

Just one of those things a guy'd like to know before he goes reefing on something.

Thanks much.

yep, they usually go the opposite way from the way you relieve tension.
Make sure you take the belt out from under it first.

Thanks. Got it off no problemo yesterday. Indeed reverse-threaded.
