Belt tensioner pulley va-poo-rized?
I've got to pick my daughter up a few miles away from my house... my belt tensioner pulley disentigrated yesterday; which I discovered today when I started to replace what I thought was just a bad belt. Would it be safe to drive my car beltless this short distance or should I break out the stroller and heel-toe it there and back?
(I wish I would have made my discovery earlier.)

Any thoughts as to what may have caused the pulley to va-poo-rize?

Re: Running with no accessory belt?
The belt tensioner seems to becoming an issue on higher mileage cars. I know mine went after I replaced the belt during my timing belt change.
This is why I recommend that if you're ready to replace the accessory belt, do the belt tensioner as well.

tensioners just go bad. don't know what to tell you there. they should probably be changed or at least HIGHLY inspected everytime you change a belt.
