I was recently doing some work on my 1996 Buick roadmaster estate wagon I want to change the tensioners I was able to find one for the serpentin belt which runs the accessories but there's a second belt which runs the engine that tensioner I could not find anywhere. Does anyone know where it can be found?
Isn't that the easy one to find? I had to search around a bit to find the fan belt tensioner. They have several other different brands available on Rockauto, but you can't hotlink to all of them in one link. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=295504&cc=1022218&jsn=2211
Sorry I said that backwards yes it is easy to get its the other I cant find. It has only two bolts and is NOT triangular shaped.
So you do need the fan belt tensioner? Follow my link above for part number 10186118. From my research that is the correct tensioner for that. If it is the other accessory belt tensioner that I linked from RockAuto I'm not sure. All of the tensioners they list for that look the same.
Good luck finding one. I had new bearings put in the one already on the car. The tow package had the mechanical fan. AC Delco parts are not available anymore.
All bearings have manufacturer's info (bearing co. not auto co.) etched into them. You can take those numbers to a bearing supplier and match them. Back in the day, I was only a few miles away from Berry Bearing and they never failed me. I was even able to get bearings for an original 57 T-bird, Paxton supercharger.
