    Default belt tensioner pulley removal

    on my '85 LX, the belt tensioner pulley has been making alot of noise as of late. i gigure its the bearings in the pulley going out. so i went to the store and got myself a replacement pulley. now, whats the best way of removing that pulley? is it reverse-threaded? any special procedures?

    Reverse threads. Use Popeye strength to loosen it.
