    I'm replacing the bearing for the A/C idler pulley but the retainer clip is bent and wont sit back in the groove

    Does anyone know the size and where to get a replacement? I've searched. I've tried autozone, advance, and o'reilly with no luck. Thanks

    Is there a Toyota Part # did you look.

    I just go to my snap ring kit and match it up

    Finding just one might be interesting Mom and Pop auto parts close.

    Just about any shop doing industrial repairs will have a kit if the want to help you is something else.

    I found it yesterday at Napa! They had this kit which was discontinued and not sold anymore. The parts guy me a few and I was on my way.

    I wasn't able to find a part # and if Napa didn't work I was going to call the dealer next.

    Thanks for the help!
