Idler pulley, tensioner pulley, S/C bearing.
About to replace all of these parts..
Now, I did a search on the forum and on Google.. I could not find a DIY or anything.
Anyone know for sure if a press is needed to replace the bearing? I've replaced bearings and bushings without a press before, is it possible with the S/C pulley??
Also, does anyone know if there is any way around taking the radiator shroud off to fit an impact gun on the bolt holding the S/C pulley on?
If not, it seems like a lot of work to get that shroud out... Anyone know the steps? So I don't end up kicking my self in the face later..
Thanks,
-Will

Ok well, I removed the top radiator support and moved the radiator and shroud a bit, enough room to get the socket from the impact gun on there.
I heated up the bolt and hit it with a really good impact gun, bolt STILL won't come off.
I'm out of ideas
I hate PB blaster, but I sprayed it and I'm letting it soak in for a bit and going to try it again.
Anyone else have any ideas?
