Thread: Idler pulley info

I would think you would just knock out the old bearing and source one from a bearing supplier type place for a fraction of the cost.

Nope.
It can be pulled apart, but the effort (it's reasonably difficult to break it down) and cost involved compared to a complete new unit isn't worth it.

overnight even,,,
easy once the belts off,,

my idler had the ribs showing through

Is there something unusual about the V8 idler pulleys/bearings?

Thanks P. Yeah, I might as well change the serpentine while I'm at it.

Not that I'm aware of... Why do you ask?

Oh yeah, Pedro... I'm looking at the 70mm pulley right?

yea,, just make sure you ask for ACE and SLS when buying the belt,,

The number is probably in here somewhere--

I thought it was 70mm, but noticed an 80mm pulley too. I'm talking about the pulley that's located one the PAS/ACE side of the engine, not the one near the belt tensioner. I'm pretty sure one is 70 and the other 80, just can't remember which is which.

Yep, I'm already onto the different sized belts depending on AC & A
ACE components. Thanks for the reminder.
