3FE AC Idler Pully Tensioner

[Irish11]

I have searched and I am lost on this one. My AC tensioner bolt was snapped when I got my cruiser. I am getting to fixing it. But I don't know how the nuts are supposed to be situated on the bolt. I looked int eh FSM and on here and cannot find a diagram or photo showing the correct order and where they fit on the bracket. I know the hole location but I do not know if they should be on the outside (above) or on the inside (below) the hole the bolt moves into when you adjust it.

Anyone have a photo or know the order?

Thanks!

This is what a 2f looks like. 85fj60. Not sure if that helps.

I just was messing with this a few hours ago... from what i recall:

The head on the long bolt will be on the very bottom, so you can poke a socket wrench underneith and make the adjustments. the bolt will obviously go through the..um... "hub" that the pulley rides on, and then go through the hole at the top of the bracket.

On top of the hole, there should be a regular nut, and an acorn nut on the very end of the bolt. Those two nuts lock together and will just spin around with the bolt when making the adjustments.

as far as the pulley goes, the threaded "hub" should poke through the slot facing towards the front of the engine bay, and the smaller washer will slip on to that first, with the smaller flanged end facing towards the front of the engine bay as well. Then, slide the pulley on.

It has a "depression" on both the front and the back, and the larger depression should be facing towards the engine. You will know what i mean when you see it. Then, slide that big thin washer over the center and then put the big nut on. Tighten it down and make sure the pulley spins smoothly, and if it does, then you nailed it!

Let me know i can help anymore

Thanks! That is what I was wondering. I have all the pieces it just seems odd to me that the two nuts ride on top of the bracket. BUt I guess that works.
