Not really turdgen, but PLEASE HELP!!!
OK, here's the story. In my auto tech class we are working on a 98(?) chevy dohc v6 and nobody can figure out how to loosen the belt tensionor(sp). The tensionor has a torx bolt and a square block on it. Anybody have any suggestions?
PS: already talked to teacher about it, he can't figure it out either.

It might have a square hole in it that you could fit a breaker bar into.
Or it might have a square edge on the end of it that you could use an open ended wrench on.
Or you might be able to wedge a prybar down there and move it.
BTW, are you talking about the 3.4L DOHC engine? I coulda swore they stopped making that engine before 1998......

I think the Azteks have the 3.4 motor, or at lest the 4wd models. Ask teacher to get a service manual

If the tensioner doesent move then its somewhere else. Usually if it is how you describe there will be a 10mm bolt head on the very bottem of that setup to adjust it, if you unscrew the Torx head it should come off completly. Other then seeing it up close.......

Thats why I droped out of tech school, I knew more then the instructor and the students combined.

I don't know what the engine is other than dohc v6 that my teacher says is a 98.
Teh (I know it's misspelled) teacher is a deaf old fart that is afraid of anything made after 1980.
Can't drop the class, it's 4 credits and I'm a sophomore in high school.
Can't go all over town because my mom works late and I don't have my license.
I love the turdgens, that's why I'm trying to buy one right now, my mom went to the bank to check it out today

I'm sure you could call a dealer and ask them, they could probably explain it. Or try doing a search on yahoo.com for, oh, i dunno, belt tensioner 98 chevy dohc v6 and see what happens. Bummer about the teacher. And hey, worst comes to worst dude, just cut the belt.
