majik_thighs Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Had a strange noise on startup for a while now. This afternoon it stopped abruptly and when I looked the pulley had dropped right off. Anyone know if it`s a replacement pulley or just the bearings? Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I'd presume it's a new pulley needed as more than likely sheared off ? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Looks like the bearing seized and the bolt just unwound itself Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I think if the idler bearing bolts are over tightened (not torqued down properly ) they can snap , so check to see if the bolt is in 1 piece . As you might need to extract the broken bit and buy a new bolt with the new idler bearing. If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 It`s being sorted today, both the idler and tensioner pullys come as a set and they are something which needs replacing occasionally . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 did you get this all sorted fella? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yep. It was the tensioner pully though.....my mistake. But I also will need the idler pulley pretty soon which I can't seem to find anywhere. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
