Review on πŸ”§ GM Original Equipment Drive Belt Tensioner by ACDelco - Part Number 12605175 by Philip Davenport

Revainrating 2 out of 5

it was pretty easy. Also

Annual update: Pulley broken and I replace it. It started a few months ago but I finally decided to fix it. Absolutely annoying. Downgraded from 5 to 2 stars. Works fine, no more noise. Installed on a 2013 Buick Regal (GM). Difficult to install due to limited space. I had to remove the engine mounts on the passenger side and lift the engine off the oil pan. The first attempt was with a regular jack, but the engine was too heavy. Went and bought a jack which speeded up the installation. I had no experience with mechanical things before, but other than the bushing issue, it was pretty basic. Also a mistake, do not lift the engine on the pavement, the jack will sink into it under the weight of the car. My noise stopped as my jack went sideways and the engine fell off a few inches. It ended well, but don't do what I did, it could have been a lot worse.

Pros
  • Made to GM OE specification for fit, form and function
Cons
  • Not bad but...
