Yes, this was the belt on the right side, it was really tight in there especially with the rusted up bolt holding the tensioner in place, but I managed to get it with a cheater bar. It was certainly more roomy on the left side. As for the tensioner, I would've thought that it would be sprung but it was tensioned by a bolt behind the coolant tank. The bolt's threads were all trashed so I had to run it through a die and then tighten it all up. The bearing sounded just fine on the tensioner so I kept the same one there as well. I will get a drive belt on order to replace next time I wrench on it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
