Default QUICK QUESTION NEED A ANSWER!!

My pulleys have been making crazy noises, i just bought the tensioner pulley today and i remember in the past somebody saying its the bearings in the tensioner pulley?

Well its JUST the pulley i bought..i dont see where it would have bearings at or how it would fix the problem? So what im trying to figure out is, what part do i need to buy that has the bearings in it that could of went "bad"

The tensioner pulley has the bearings already pressed into it... you can't just buy the pulley without the bearings

hmm ok, im just making sure.

its just the pulley, cost 20 something. it came in a little tiny box and it just replaces the old pulley. im making sure there is nothing else to get besides that. i hope it takes the noise away.

Yep, that's it, if you look in the center of it, you'll see the bearing, will probably have a green plastic cover covering the bearings (usually green anyway) but yah, open'er and you'll see the bearings. ALSO remember, the pulley bolt is Left-hand thread, so it's the opposite of normal ones, you can break them if you try and turn them the wrong way (this coming from someone who's done it and had to buy a new $140 tensioner because of it... well.. I had an impact on it but that's a different story ) so yah, clockwise is loosen, counter is tighten
