A-Premium Belt Tensioner Assembly with Pulley Compatible with Toyota, Lexus

This item works and is a direct replacement for the belt tensioner of my Toyota Camry SE 2017 2.5L Sedan. It seems to work fine. Installation only requires a key wrench of 12mm to remove the unit itself and 14mm socket wrench to pull and adjust tension. It would go in as easily as taking the old one out.One word to caution, you need to get the belt seat in the groove of both pulleys (engine and AC Compressor) or you can never put the belt on for the life of you. It only misses a hair of air gap but can never get in, and as a matter of fact you should NEVER install it in such a fashion. The belt (assuming you have the right one) has been well engineered to get in nicely. There is absolutely no need for heating the new belt up to increase its length as other suggested. The key here is "make sure it seat in correctly" and it has nothing to do with this unit. Tip, remove the front passenger wheel and the plastic cover and you should be able to see the "bottom of both pulleys" (very important). In my case, I did not so I use a flash light beaming directly on top of the engine pulley and sure enough I can see it did not aligned as it should be. Very easy to miss this. It took me 2 days and the cost of this unit to learn what I just told you. Also, last but not least, when you pull on this unit with a 14mm wrench, you need to STOP right at the moment the black plastic wheel touching the engine case. Failing to do so will break this sucker. It is made not to be pulled with excessive force . Pulling more just because you missed what I told you earlier will not do you any good. I was able to get the belt in with a normal 10" 30-years old socket wrench easily. Remember, the Alternator's pulley is the last place where the belt goes in.How long this thing last, only time can tell. But for the cost of $25 vs $264 (only this part) at the local dealership and a rocky economy full of stupid tariffs from the Taco man, it won't take you long to know what to do. Buy 2 and keep one in the trunk and with those tools I told you earlier you should be all set.If this thing ever broke on me, I will surely come back with 1 star. For now, I will give it 5 for the cost. I think the seller did well in term of the price. Want the OEM for $155, go online to Village Toyota in FL.

The belt tensioner part actually fit my 2009 Toyota Camry. No need to purchase a new expensive part from dealer since the car is already old. I am happy with my purchase.

I keep seeing people breaking these brand new out of the box. I think they're just being a little too rough with it when they're trying to install the belt or remove the belt. The job itself takes a couple hours. You have to remove the motor mount, Jack. The engine up like 6 inches, and then you can remove the long bolt.

Poor quality, did not last 5 minutes.

Once I went on YouTube to get info on install it took sometime but finally got it in and works perfectly on my 2nd gen Scion XB.

Tried a lot of auto parts stores and none of them could deliver the part as quickly as Amazon. The price is another good thing.

works fine, np problems at all.

Excelente producto, quedo muy bien en mi Toyota Camry 2004.

Lo he probado por 2 meses y trabaja Exelente

Bad quality. The tensioner start knocking when switch on the A/C or shift to reverse gear especially while engine loaded. IN waist my time and effort without benefit.

Went on flawless, really good quality bearing nice and tight. The dummy 19mm bolt is easy to move to adjust the tension. Went on an 04 Camry, 10/10 would recommend. I’d recommend jacking the engine up to remove the 2 old bolts and set the tension then let the engine back down on the motor mount!
