Re: Pulley Saver Kit
Iam doing a 185 and have used the bolt head and nut with success, the belt on my 185 IS NOT TOO TIGHT. Between the s/c and alternator I can push down the belt 1 or more inches with a finger with moderate pressure, (deflect the belt). Woody

went to the website part different part number for the slk32 tensioner. foto shows 3 mount holes. # 305354
ha! found the answer. autozone AND advance auto have the pulley tensioner for the slk32 and the slk320 reversed! the tensioners shown have pulleys which are not removable if im seeing the fotos correctly. im looking for the oem replacement and that raises the cost
