Replacing idler pulley AUIII 6 cyl non-VCT

[rowan194]

I noticed one of my pulleys was a bit clattery when I changed my belt a couple of months ago, and came across this today...

(A kit of two genuine ford pulleys)

So how do you replace these pulleys, do you need a special tool or press to remove them? I saw mention in another thread about undoing 4 bolts, but I can't see anything like that on the ebay pics. Are they missing something?

Alternatively, could I just replace the entire tensioner assembly?

I have to go to Bayford to pick up a heater pipe o-ring so I figured I may as well do this at the same time.

There is a bolt on the back, 1/2" from memory .

HTH.

Remove the tensioner assembly, then each wheel is held on by a single bolt. Did the pulleys come with the bearings in them? Those bearings are the part that goes and can be carefully pressed out with a hammer and socket , but usually you can buy pulleys with the bearings already fitted.

I bought nuline pulleys that are metal with bearings that can be pressed out.

I went to Bayford spares (Campbellfield) today and they did the $42 deal for me. I think it's usually about $5 more if you just buy the two idlers separately.

I can hold the middle and spin the wheel freely so I guess it includes the bearings.
