[Vwdiesel] Tensioner Pulley Removal Problem

[Doug Presny]

I am replacing the tensioner pulley on a 1982 diesel rabbit car.  The
motor mount bracket is interfering with the pulley sliding off the end
of the bolt stud.  It is close to coming off, but after 30 minutes of
unsuccessfully trying every rotation of the eccentric hole, I thought
I'd ask the more experienced.  If the stud has backed out, what is the
best technique to turn it back in, etc.

 

Thanks - Doug
