Belt Tensioner Pulley Replacement

[Yo Hoot]

2004 5.9
I see there is a pulley available as a replacement for the tensioner. Looking at the replacement tensioner assemblies there looks to be a cover over where the bolt is. Does this just pop off? Or is the bolt head on the other side?

its sold as complete unit.
also make sure you replace the idler pulley at the same time.

You can now purchase just the pulley

I would replace the whole unit, did mine last summer when I put in a new radiator and was surprised how much more tension the new one had compared to the old one as the internal spring does fatigue.

Rock Auto sells a kit that comes with idler,tensioner and belt

Water pump condition good time to check rotation and look at weep hole.

Appreciate the advice but I'm looking for an answer to the question.

Looking at the link you posted only the Cummins tensioner appears to have a replaceable pulley, not the gates you posted. The OE tensioner has a bolt head not a cover.


That being said, I agree with the others. Don’t replace just the pulley, replace it all.
