cainhead Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hello, Just picked up an SRD idler pulley and got in installed. However it won't spin. Replaced original one and no issues. Does anyone know if it needs a spacer/washer of any sort? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers depending on the tensioner it may need a washer behind it, I can stick you something in the post that will do it Edited June 7, 2017 by Lee P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cainhead Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hey Lee, thanks for the reply. It's a uk spec standard tensioner if that makes any difference. Is it just a standard washer that goes on behind the pulley. I noticed the ring clip that holds in the bearing has two little tabs that seem to stick out. Is that right?

Ric Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Did you install the standard washer on the front too? when i fitted some polished pulleys that was too large and it was pressing on the pulley instead of the bearing, needed a smaller one.

Strangely mine didn't have a washer on there. The flange on the bolt is the size of a washer, but like I say works okay with the standard pulley. I take a standard stainless washer would be okay to use? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Perhaps i mean the bolt and confused it with a washer. The standard one was way too large and pressed on the outside of the bearing so it wouldnt spin, i just replaced with a smaller one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
