Idler Pulley, bolt??

[54Rich]

I need to replace the idler pulley bearing and it's held in place with a 18MM bolt. Is it standard threads or reverse? Seems to be in there very tight. Thought I'd ask before I break somehting.

So lefty loosey?

Thanks

I have to take mine off to clean it up, Figure I would change the bearing while I am at it. Do you mind letting me know where you got the bearing?

I just pulled it off the car, if your going to replace that bearing, take the pulley off with the assy is still bolted down. It took a bit of force to get that bolt loose. Pressed it out, it's a 6203 which is the bigger of the two bearings listed in the link above. So if you were going to do both the alt and this, you would need two 6203's and one 6000.

Just got it off and pressed out. It seems like it is shot, defenatly the right thing to replace before putting it in my project. Now for the PS pump, I think that is going to be a much bigger problem.
