What I thought was loos...I didn't replace them. What I thought was loose mounts was actually the beginning stages of a misfire, eventually resulting in my replacing the cylinder head on that side. But, to do that, I had to release the mounts. Shouldn't be too bad a job to replace them. You probably should use a shop manual for the job, though, to be sure.MercedesDieselGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951696793254807126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284521641699700018.post-38220814303715416942012-05-21T18:17:51.979-04:002012-05-21T18:17:51.979-04:00I saw your video on the Subaru motor mount check. ...I saw your video on the Subaru motor mount check. Have you done a replace on these before. I was wondering how much of a job this would be on an Forester Wagon. Its a 2001. I was told that you just need to remove the Exhaust and Heads. Any guess?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150162180003792391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284521641699700018.post-54896850655300196002012-02-22T19:06:44.549-05:002012-02-22T19:06:44.549-05:00Unfortunately, this was all a year ago and I don&#...Unfortunately, this was all a year ago and I don't have the car anymore. In my car (I had air conditioning and power steering - there were several different belt routing setups), the alternator belt tensioner was bolted to the bottom of the alternator bracket. It should be pretty self-explanatory. Best of luck.MercedesDieselGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951696793254807126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284521641699700018.post-84778766669165970552012-02-22T18:59:34.376-05:002012-02-22T18:59:34.376-05:00I just found you on youtube.

Do you have any videos of what the tensioner on that looks like? We can get the pulley, but not a picture of the tensioner pulley arm. Was wondering if you had anything that we could actually see, or if you could explain what it looked like to us. I saw the video where you added the bearings, and we saw the new tensioner pulley before you put it on, but need just a little more. Many thanks if you could help us-this is the last piece of the puzzle and it is keeping me in a vehicle getting only ten miles per gallon-and I drive for work daily. The difference in mileage will be a blessing for us!auntmammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005421955554922235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284521641699700018.post-2923803525301110622012-02-20T01:27:51.676-05:002012-02-20T01:27:51.676-05:00Hey bro, I hit you up on youtube just a minute ago...Hey bro, I hit you up on youtube just a minute ago.
