I desprately need both tensioner pully's that run the water pump and powersteering... and the other runs the alternator.

One is completely seized and the other is on the way out. Need them asap.

If you knock the bearing out and are able to read the number off it. Canadian tire sells them for $10 (the bearing that is)

Did mine few months ago.

Thanks.. good to know. Problem is the bolt to adjust the tensioner is seized in with rust! I've tried to spray it every day with wd-40 but it won't budge! I've been driving my othe car around so it's not a big deal but i'd like to get my mx3 rolling again.

I can't seem to find the whole assembly from the dealer (plus if i could get it i am sure it has an overinflated dealer price).

So if ANYONE is parting out a k8 motor with good tenstions (Bracket and all) let me know... even if the bearing is shot i'll just press a new on in at work.

Thanks

Not trying to insult your intelligence or anything here, but did you loosen the lock nuts on the pulleys before adjusting? I made that mistake once.
