I realize I PROBABLY should already know this, but I don't :dunce: I'm not a huge fan of the way the tensioner bolt on my 91 is under the power steering pump, and from the feel of it when I just tried to adjust it, either I'm missing a bolt I need to loosen first, or it's about to snap. Seeing as my XJ is not really capable of moving very far/fast right now, and I have a move coming up soon, and the water pump in the MJ just crapped out, I really need to get to the bottom of this... so my question is, how easy is it to swap a 96 (and probably 95, not sure on the year split on this "feature") power steering pump + idler/tensioner pulley bracket onto a 91? Will I need to swap anything else (power steering pump?) What belt should I use? AAP's computer specs two different belts for the 91 and the 96 and I'm not sure if it's due to A/C compressor changes or P/S pump changes or tensioner changes.
I don't really like the design on the 96 either, but it seems better than the design on the 91. I can pick up the whole bracket and pulley setup for ten bucks at my local you-pull-it Monday morning, just wondering if I should pull the P/S pump as well or if there is anything else I'm forgetting.
I could not find anything very relevant when searching (searched for "belt tensioner") but if you know what to search for, that's also an answer I'd be happy with. I can search myself I just can't think of good terms to search for on this one :looney:
