Hope to get to Idler Pulley soon.

Update:

Finally got to the idler pulley, changed out the bearing ( 6301-2RS Bearing ) keeping the OE pulley.
removed C clip, then tapped the bearing out, Cleaned and put some grease along the inner area,
then tapped the bearing back in with a socket that fit the outter edge.

* 14mm socket to loosen the nut, then adjust the belt tension, slip belt over, remove nut, washer and pulley.




Backside of pulley once removed.



C-clip removed, new bearing in.



back on and a lot quieter. ( new belts will be coming when I do Timing belt maitenance )



Overall a very simple job, about 30 min
( just remember to remove that C-clip, before beating the bearing out.
it may be buried in grease and grime, be sure to put it back too. )

Appreciate all the info on the threads here in the Gen 1 forum, and Youtube videos!
