svxpert Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I'm rebuilding a EA-82T and need 2 timing belt tensioners. OEM ones are pricy, is there aftermarket ones that are good? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toybuilder Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 NSK, a reputable Japanese manufacturer, makes a high quality replacement; all metal like the original. I have seen some other brands with plastic wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asavage Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 I bought Beck-Arnley ones for my (non-Turbo) '93 EA82 024-1008 ~$50 ($74 list) 024-1046 ~$48 ($69 list) The driver's side belt also has an idler, as well as a tensioner. I bought the bearing only and replaced it myself (using a couple of big sockets and a bench vise). I don't have the generic brg number here, but I bought a BCA brand brg, their No. 203SS, and it fit perfectly. BTW, the A/C idler bearing is a BCA 202FF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
