Thread: Bearing Part Number for Tensioner

I'm assuming its the same as a defender, so it should be a 6205 bearing.



I filed a small notch (at about 7o'clock) to make it easier to get the circlip out next time.

6203 is the correct number.

As JC said, 6203 bearing, any auto shop such as auto-one should keep them, or a bearing shop, cost me $6 for a decent quality one about 4 weeks ago, have seen them range from about $3 to about $10.

I knocked mine out pretty easy and gently tapped the new one in with the old bearing against the new to prevent damage and spread the load.

Thanks guys... that was quick. I think Justin's got the correct number I can't find a 6205 on the SKF web site .... so it must be a 6203.

Justin can you advise if I'm going to need any special tools to push it out / in ...
I know I've got to get the circlip out first .....

Martin (bushie) is on the money, I drill a small hole at the side of the circlip groove and then tap the circlip around across the hole so I can then get a small pick behind it and flick it out. I select a socket and tap the brg out, refitting I use another socket on the outer race only, tap in to seat and fit circlip.

Thanks to everyone for the prompt response...

know what I'll be doing Saturday morning

Should have looked closer at my own pic (can see bearing #) and not trusted the dodgy memory.

Hi all,

good news ... and bad.

Got the good women to get me a bearing today and when I got home I set to work.
All went ok, only bit that threw me initially was the bolt holding the actual pulley wheel, it's left hand thread . Tapped the old bearing out (it was stuffed) and gently eased the new one in. Refitted and started the car.

The chirp is still there.

Pulled the belt off and span the water pump , alternator and power steering pulley and all feel smooth... obviously I cant spin at the same speed as when the engine is running.

I'm now leaning towards to Aircond belt pulley's. Does the air conditioner tensioner also have a bearing that can be easily changed ? Also what about the fixed pulley....

Is there any secret was to identify where the noise is coming from
