Serpentine Belt Pulley Oddity
Hi all, hoping there may be more technical minded folks here who can help me out. I'm trying to replace a shredded belt, but after I removed the 20% of the degraded belt that was still hanging on, I noticed this bit affixed to the tensioner that I turned to remove the belt. Anyone who's done this before, does this look like a shredded pulley wheel or some other part, or is this just a severely dried out belt bit that has bunched up by the tensioner (car has been sitting in the heat in NorCal for a few months).
It's really hard to tell, so I don't know if I should just cut it out and then the replacement will be straightforward as it's just leftover belt or if I'm going to need to replace something more substantial like an entire tensioner wheel. Thanks in advance. I can try to get more pictures tomorrow if this is too indecipherable, it's starting to get dark.
