04 bmw x5 3.0 engine how does the alternator belt tensioner release ? YesA shopperJan 25, 2021
Best Answer:Hi, This part is guaranteed to fit the 2004 BMW X5 3.0i 6 Cyl 3.0L 24 Valves, Manufacture Body Code Name: E39. To loosen an Alternator belt tensioner, loosen the main mounting bolt, usually on the engine, and the locking bolt, usually on a bracket or arm. If equipped with a tensioner screw, back off the tensioner screw. Then, push the alternator toward the other pulleys, loosening the belt.

Accessory Belt Tensioner
I liked shopping on this page and would buy again.
The spare part arrived on time, fit perfectly in my car. The only bad thing is that if you buy two or three spare parts at a time, they charge you shipping for each one.
