STEP 1: remove the intake
STEP 2: remove the radiator fan only one screw on the fan upper left if your facing your engine then slightly pull the fan. Make sure to unplugged the fan and move any thing thats blocking the way the only tough part is to move the radiator hose just slowly pull it out again move anything thats blocking and u dont have to take anything off
STEP 3: take the cover off the pulley tentioner and get a 14mm socket and push down. It will move the tensioner so u can remove the belt... This is not the idler pulley its the one on top of that pulley
STEP 4: 16mm socket to remove the idler tensioner and replace
STEP 5: put everything back and done
Would have taken 30 minutes but i took my time |
You're a life saver my car was making this exact noise. Tried to search forums and couldn't find anything on it. Searched idler pulley and your post came up, I replaced the pulley and no more noise
