Are these the right ASP idler pullies for us?
So I ordered the tensioner and idler pulleys for my E55 from ASP directly about a month ago and they said they only had the two in stock. The one that goes behind the front one where the 2 pulleys are is the one they didnt have.
I goto get it installed today and my shop tells me these are the wrong ones, they said they have done lots of these and mine will not fit due to clearance issues. They said something about a deflector and and bolt or something they should have sent. My shop told me they have had similar problems with ASP in the past and they are good and fast with exchanges.
Anyways here are the pics of my pulleys, Let me know if they are for the E55 or not? I will be calling ASP in the morning anyways!

Are they refering to the tensioner pulley? If they are they need to use the stock bolt that came off your old tensioner pulley and they don't need to use the dust guard. If they do it'll clamp the pulley down tight.

Yeah from what I've read here you dont need the dust guard or deflector as they called it and can use stock bolt. Maybe they confused the 2 pulleys locations? or havent changed the tensioner and have only done just the idler? This indy shop does all my services and work and usually know their stuff so its kind of odd. I sent ASP pics and they said my pulley's are fine and are made correct.
