Tensioners and Belts

[BigNiner19]

Looks like the main tensioner is seperating in the middle. Everything seems to be running normal, but I can see some seperation. 149K miles

I also see some wear on the accessery belt for the AC

I think I just want to replace both tensioners and both belts.

Do most of you replace with the green back belt from gates?

Also - Is it necessary to remove the fan shroud?

OE tensioners/idlers. Gates green belts here, I would have considered OE belts again too.

Remove at least upper part of shroud, if you have air tools... Lisle Tools make a set of wrenches that fit an air chisel and will pop the fan clutch right off. WELL worth the investment.
