i need help getting the idler pully off. It is the pulley that has no lips on it and it is connected to the power steering pump but not the power steering pulley. its like a star shaped tool.

 

is it bolted on? i dont have the 4.6L, so i cant really help. if it is bolted on, find the type of bolt (torx, hex...) then break it free. i know my crank pulley had to be removed with a puller when i changed it out...

 

Are you talkin the tensioner pulley if so its bolted with three bolts around the outer edge,thats the easiest one to remove.

 

i have one idle pulley on my 3.8L, it is next to the alternator.

 

Is this part known to be a big squeaker..?

i have a squeak from under the hood, sounds like one of the pulleys,,
i believe its one of them on the left side, and kinda higher positioned,, and since i have nearly no idea what each pully is for or does, i'll just leave it at that...
thanks....4.6 by the way
