TVS Rear belt removal - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

How do I get the damn thing off ? I loosened the allen screw on the left side of the rear pulley assembly (left looking INTO the engine bay from the front), but nothing seems to move so the belt doesn't have any play to get it off. HELP !

My car started making a horrible noise on the way home from work and it seems to be coming from the back of the blower. I want to remove the belt and see if the noise stops.

Thanks in advance !

Rear idler bearing. Mine did it three times and i swapped to an lsa setup and gained power. You need to pull the blower most likely and fix the issues and re-install it. Pain i dont miss. Sorry about this happening. I know the pain o so well.

which Rear pulley is the idler ? The one on the jackshaft ? Thanks for the reply !

Oops. I had the 14 rib overdrive on mine with the idler tensioner. You only have 2 pulleys. Could be a blower problem. Or in the jackshaft itself. That had to be replace that also.
