Need some info, 94 90 accessory belt tensioner??
does anyone have any link for a cheap
accessory belt tensioner? I found ones for the 95 90 for 60 dollars. and then 6 hours later, still stuck at a 94 accessory belt kit for 230. already ordered a new timing belt, so I am really not into buying another one. so, if anyone knows where to get the 94 part for about the same price as the 95 let me know.
Kind of stuck at this procedure of putting the new timing belt on also. The accessory belt tensioner has the allen key setup. I read a couple manuals suggest using a mandrel (wtf?), I tried using my buddy with a short allen key, this don't work. anyways, I already chipped the back circle in half, and cracked the housing for the tensioner, I would love some suggestions.

Well there's the updated accessory belt/tensioner kit which you're referring to...
...if not, you'll need to get a '94 style tensioner - there was a VIN split, so what are the last 6 digits of the VIN on your '94?
What manuals suggested what you read?

I just realized I could have updated my timing belt, with no problems, yet I already purchased the 94 tensioner. ****..
I got a cd rom manual off ebay, ended up being a general manual for all vehicles, mitchell on demand system, not really useful at all.
also I finally got a look at some info at 12v.org
I was putting the belt on wrong. anyways, thanks for the help.
