Animal Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 You can just replace the bearing. CW offers a rebuild service on these, not sure how much, but the bearing itself is about £8. Mine went a few weeks ago and I just got a bearing and my dad fit it. Said it wasn't much of a struggle. The only tricky bit is trying to move the tensioner to get the belt on. I presume you need a special tool to do it properly, but a big bar seems to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt _Aero top_ Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I may be wrong but wasn't some of the housings that the bearing sits in plastic ? maybe hard to press a new bearing into this . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I believe so, yes. If it's a plastic pulley, then you have to change the complete unit. Don't know when they swapped from proper steel ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 spoken to CW, i'm going to take it off tomorrow and send it to him to be repaired £25 hope this sorts the noise out Have you also checked your crank pulley? My old NA had the squeaky syndrome. Changed the pulley for new OEM one, changed the belt too. Squeaking went away for a while then returned sporadically. Changed the belt again, disappeared for quite a while. Next owner has changed the belt again and squeaking has disappeared totally I believe... then again he's running a 1JZ now! I bought this pulley because I thought I had the same squeak. Next day my crank pulley kinda had an issue That was my squeak. Got that replaced with no issues luckily Hence I have this pulley sat in a box in my office. Was holding onto it and either sell it or put it on mine when I saw trouble.
