Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now we're going to install the serpentine be it tensioner pulley. That's a spring loaded guy there, it's keyed on to the bracket. There again they give you the right bolts with the kit.
