idler pulleys and tensioner pulley

Just replaced the 3 idler pulleys with genuine ones from Partsouq. The top pulley still felt good with no play but replaced it anyway. I left the tensioner alone and the belt was already replaced a while back.

I went from the bottom after removing the bashplates. Needed a tube extension on the ratchet handle as I didn't have much room to swing on the handle. Used a deep 14mm socket for the lower 2. Handy to have a torque wrench to get the bolts properly torqued up due to the awkwardness of the positioning.

Just looking into replacing my pullies.

Do the Nuline pullies have the correct ID bearings? No nead for any bushes?

Thanks guys

I just replaced all my belt pulleys and with the NU-LINE pulley and belt kit from Western Filters, $247. It seems to be a very good kit and of high quality.

My pulleys had become very noisy after some recent wet whether and driving through a few "puddles". WD40 quietened it for a while but it was slowly getting worse. Because I didn't know how old the belt was I thought it was time to bit the bullet and fix it before something failed. As a bonus now I have a spare belt, just incase.

The install was very easy, just drop the bash plate and do it from underneath. Only required very basic tools and around half an hour, I would rate it as an easy job which could be done by most people with basic skills.

Your rig was definitely squealing like a pig in mud (and no doubt due to the mud!) after the GTG Troy! You might have a quiet ride again soon

Thanks for that torque setting Andrew.
Ordered parts from Bursons Wingfield, to tick this job off of the "post GTG" maintenance list.

Thanks for the response - I will get onto it tonight.

Couldn't sleep? surely you have better things to do at 1am then help a random stranger?

Thanks again

Will

Can anyone tell me what the bolts should be torqued up to?

Torque should be 39Nm.

Not 100% sure but they dont need to be overly tight. When I was undoing mine I was surprised how little pressure to undo them

I have just received a set of nuline from "Wester Filters" for doing this job. Can anyone tell me what the bolts should be torqued up to?

Theres a listing on ebay for full set and belt for $250 plus ppstage or something like that but o couldnt wait so happy to pay the extra. I got all my parts at my local bursons store. I have all the part no.s at home and which one is which will get a photo up tonight if ive got the time

Hey where'd you score the parts from? I haven't been able to find anything with the correct pulley inner diameter other than original Toyota and they want over 400 bucks for the tensioner alone!
