Tensioner Pully Bolt?

[fivespeedstang]

Is the bolt on the tensioner pully reverse threaded or normal threaded? I need to know so i can replace my pully

Reverse thread.

 

[fivespeedstang]

you sure about that?

100% Positive. Replaced the pulley on my notch a few months ago. It's reverse-thread because you have to be able to pull on the thing counter-clockwise with an 18mm socket/wrench to pull tension off the serpentine belt when changing the belt (or anything else involving it) out.
