Need to replace Supercharger Bearing Pulley?
Hi Guys,
My SC Bearing Pulley is starting to make a horrible noise and am wanting to change it, but not sure what the best options are.
Can anyone help please?

I do not see on the page you sent the link for the bearing for the OEM supercharger pulley. I don't think he is looking for a smaller aftermarket pulley. I think he just wants to fix the stock pulley.

Replacing the bearing and not its old stock pulley (these cars are OLD now) is like replacing the piston head and not replacing the rods - opinions are like A-holes, but mine is, you change the bearing on any pulley, might as well change the OEM pulleys too that are likely in pretty bad shape after 17+ years depending on your year. You don't want aftermarket/smaller, get a new OEM pulley.

There are a lot of cars that can be bought and cheaped out on - this platform isn't one of them. More issues- much more serious than a failing bearing - can result if pulleys snap, crack etc. This isn't a new car with all kinds of warranties; the majority of owners have no warranties nowadays - it's an old car now that requires maintenance (not Toyota Camry maintenance either, these were $85+ cars when new in early 2000s, so the maintenance is on par with someone buying damn close to $100K car back in 2003) , regardless of miles but simply due to age.

No need to replace the entire pulley unless it’s been damaged somehow. Just replace the bearing. I’m an industrial maintenance technician. I work on million dollar pieces of equipment daily. Some of the equipment is over 40 years old. I have sheaves that are on their 4th or 5th bearing that are still completely intact that run 24 hours a day. Your argument has no data to back it up.
