[@onecrak]

[@Pendaws]

With BA/BF/FG you DON'T need to buy the genuine parts listed for the BA/BF/FG, you can just buy the EF/EL/AU pulleys, like YOU did, exactly the same units. I would have changed the drive belt also.

Hey thanks John. Yeah just a fun way to share my knowledge and help people at the same time who wanna do some work on their car themselves 🙂

[@alleycat9884]

Thanks Scott. I have to replace my alternator and drive belt soon. Anxiety level is now zero.

[@petermajkovica3700]

Thanks for that mate

[@Kitcat8357]

Great video

[@alexanderchuyko4889]

BTW... It should be a thread fixer on pulley`s bolt from manufacturer. Is there any chance to break the bolt during this replacing, or it`s strong enough? Also, do we need to add any thread fixer (Loctite, etc...) with new pulley installation to prevent self- unscrewing, please? Thank you

[@alexanderchuyko4889]

Wow! That`s the best tutorial ever!!! The same job is waiting for me, accompanied with steering pump replacement. Definitely will bring my phone with me with your video as a guide! :)

[@noahv1916]

Good video man enjoyed it 😀👍🏽

[@user-hp6ev4mg1k]

Loved it ... thanks mate Followed it step by step 👍

[@petersgarage6125]

Thanks for the tutorial. Saves time money and makes it a simple job. You are a great tuber!!!

[@marcelrey9533]

Great camera work, particularly on releasing the tensioner . That will help with my ford territory. Thanks heaps! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁

[@rods6405]

8:51 Nice tapping! And its definitely spinning straighter

[@bossdog1480]

Thanks Scotty. My belt busted and I've got a new one to go in tomorrow. You make it look easy but I'm sure I'll struggle a bit. Nice and clear, thank you.

[@bossdog1480]

Thanks again mate. It was easy after I watched you do it. I'm trying to find a vid on lower control arm replacement.

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

Great vid mate. Just an FYI, those funny looking situations on the tensioner pulley are just bits of rubber from the belt that have built up over time. You can chip them off with your fingernail. Still no harm in changing it though, it's obviously been in there a while for it to build up like that.

[@broke123]

I had an idler pulley on my old XR6T that was so fucked it sounded like someone was shaking a bag of nuts under the bonnet every time it ran.

[@GOKHANDILEK]

Thanks for the video. I would have changed the whole tensioner pulley as the spring gets weaker over time. It seems to move up and down a lot.

[@iwillnotcomply2002]

Cheers mate

[@CoreyEdwards2]

Legend mate. Love the plugger on the breaker bar to back the tensioner off.

[@brobrown6553]

awesome

[@petersgarage6125]

A slight blackout. Thanks a lot . Great work!

[@cooliovids9214]

great video! helped alot! i noticed on mine, there was no seal on the upper tensioner pulley? i put the washer and the rubber grommet inside the tensioner with the washer facing the radiatior end. will it matter i dont have the seal???

[@cooliovids9214]

i called up ford, apparently its just an oring facing the engine side, so the idler pulley has the black rubber inside it, and then the oring touching the engine side.

[@driver3025]

It’s ribbed for her pleasure....

[@catcrazy9109]

This vid helped bro got it done in 5 mins

[@heretohelp1805]

Love the fancy footwork!!. Needing to know this. Found your old VL at Forced Performance today too.

[@vlt9psi]

Haha yeah gotta make do lol Oh yeah i seen it up there many months ago, glad hes taken back to FPT.

[@SWhite-hp5xq]

Good one man👍🏽

[@300kwv6]

Good video. Do you know why some falcons have single thermo fan and others twin?

[@wobblysauce]

One for the car and temp other for the AC.

[@vlt9psi]

Yeah seems they simplified it and made it one fan but far out its loud. The twins are almost silent compared to this single.

[@Pendaws]

More than likely Ford got a deal on Single Fan units and went for as CHEAP as possible but the single one still works well. The double motors used to get full of road grime and carbon anyway.

[@sic04250f]

My job for today, had the pulleys on the shelf for well over 12 months...lol
