Accessory belt tensioner removal on 98 accord v6
Ok so my brother thought the alternator was bad on his accord, turns out the belt was broken. So i put on a new belt and it starts to melt and smoke and turns out the accessory belt tensioner pulley was stuck, causing the belt to rub raw on it and melt away.
I removed the two belts securing the tensioner assembly but I still could not pull it off. I hammered it from the bottom and it seemed to rotated but I still can't get it off. I found a picture of a replacement one and there is a large hole in the back center. I'm guess there is some kind of rod that goes into the tensioner assembly from the block for more support.
The car has ~180,000 which is probably causing some of the stubbornness, but this is ridiculous. How do I get this thing off? Btw, it is very tight in there, fwd engines are no fun to work on that side.

I believe there is a bolt running through the middle of it as well. I would check mine, but it is snowing outside.

well to take the pulley off you have to undo all the motor mounts and jack the motor up about 6 inches to take the pulley off to get the bolt out so it doesnt hit the side wall and remove it.
