My car is a non-ac vehicle. The pulley bearing is going bad, and want to buy a replacment.. I bought one but went to put it on and the pulley was smaller, only bolted in two places (instead of three like the old one) and the mounting for it was too small so it would have to use the belt to hold it forward instead of just fitting in the bracket.. What ones have others used that fit/work well?? What do you recomend. ??

 

Why not, just change the bearing?

Most idlers use a 6302 bearing; very very common, cheap, easy to find.

 

How hard is it to get the bearing out of the plastic pulley??

 

Depends on how it's made.... usually they just sort of pop right out.

What are the numbers on your bearing?

 

I dont know what bearing to be honest, the pulley is still on the car so it can be driven...I will have to pull it apart soon to see what I have.
