DIY: idler pulley replacement

If your car sounds like this its your idler pulley


YELLOW ARROW IDLER PULLEY 16mm bolt to remove the Pulley
RED ARROW TENSIONER 14MM BOLT and push down to remove the tension so you can remove the belt.


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
