Hi all,

I need help to find the inner idler pulley for my car. The plastic one that runs the same belt with water pump, power steering pump etc. Not the outer pulley that runs with the supercharger pulley that ASP has.

If you know where to get one, please let me know.

Thanks,

i think asp has those too

The OEM idler pullies come as a pair. The ASP set come as a pair too. I would just replace both with an ASP set. I believe you can order just the idler pullies. Get hold of Brooke or Shardul over on **************.

Here are the three that come in the ASP kit. Two on the idler, and one on the s/c tensioner.

How hard or easy was the install? I have them and will install them this weekend. Any DIY suggestions or tips?

Definitely a DIY. You'll need a 17mm 12 pt combo wrench or socket for the s/c tensioner pulley, and a socket for the other tensioner. I don't remember the torx sizes for the two bolts.

Remove the front plastic engine cover, then start by removing the s/c belt first. Then I removed the s/c tensioner pulley with a torx bit on a 3/8 rachet wrench and then removed the other belt to get access to the other two pulleys. I wasn't able to remove the lower bolt with a rachet because it was too tight so I used a 3/8 drive stubby breaker bar to clear the fan shroud. Once that bolt is out you can remove both lower pulley's. Use the new spacer provided in the ASP kit and install the lower pulley's. You reuse the spacer with a shoulder on it for the new lower pulley's. You will have a slight gap between the two pulleys when installed correctly. It may take a couple of tries to figure out which way the pulleys face, but it will make sense when you do it. I used blue loctite on the bolt and reinstalled the bolt with the two pulleys on it first. I then reinstalled the lower belt. Then moved up and did the s/c tensioner pulley. You do not reuse the dust cover on the upper pulley. I did find that a 3/8 stainless washer with a 1" outside diameter works well in place of the dust cover. Once again use blue loctite. Then reinstall the belt and you're done. I started my car with the cover off and hood open just to check and snap the engine cover back on and close the hood. No more squeaky pulleys.
