I cant seem to get the idler tensioner pulley off. I need to replace the bearings. Any help would be great.

I'm not being a wiseass, but what part do you need help with? Why won't it come off? Did you unbolt it?

There is two bolts on the side of that bracket.

I think they are 14mm.

Take them off, the whole whole assembly will fall off.

Repair, then put the bolts back.

lol so i was just having a dumb moment or something. I got the pulley off. At first I didn't take the belt off and was wondering why the pulley wouldn't slide back enough to get the bolt out. Just one of those moments. Thanks though
