    I don’t think you can change the bearings in a OEM Toyota idler pulley power steering position. you may be able to do that on an aftermarket pulley but from what I can see after taking mine off of my 1998 Tacoma regular cab four-cylinder manual transmission there’s no way to replace the bearings in that pulley

    Why do you insist on creating thread after thread after thread on the same topic?

    The thread he referred me to is not talking about the power steering idler pulley. It is talking about the AC pulley, which is a totally different part number and a different pulley and that particular pulley bears can be changed. But not the power steering pulley. But thanks anyway
