Hi guys, I received a nice present before Christmas with a bearing failure on the idler pulley that shredded the belt and melted metal on the mount that the bearing sits against. Have cleaned it up and looks OK to mount a new pulley. Have got from Subaru a new pulley , new washer and new belt. My questions are
- is it bolt, washer, pulley the order that mounts as I can't remember if the washer was on the inside on the engine side and it was destroyed? I think I took off bolt then pulley then a shredded piece of metal. May be that's why it failed was it installed the wrong way to begin with?
- what tension should the bolt be tightened to?
- should I change the tensioner pulley too even if it seems to spin cleanly
- how is the tensioner pulley moved so I can slip on the belt? I think there is a square hole that a ratchet might be inserted and leavered. Is that how its done?
Thanks for anyone's help
Can't find any diagrams that show exploded view of the fitment.
