I noticed the tensioner pulley is noisy and the squeal goes away when i aim some lubricant on the tensioner. Of course it comes back to it's usual noise after a few minutes. Curious how hard is it to replace and time involved? Also, is it just the wheel or is there more to it? Thanks
BTW: Its a 1998 3.0L accord ex

 

Pulley replacement is usually easy (not model specific response), but may require removal of other belts to access. Pulley bearing can sometimes be re-packed by removing seal, cleaning, and repacking w/ new grease. I would suggest purchasing some type of manual to help.

good luck

 

Thank you Texashonda, your advice is much appreciated. I have the Hayes manual but they don't go into pulley replacement. I'm glad it's an easy job, as my skills are not up to par with the technical stuff.
