Auxillary drive belt tensioner


Lazarus

Recommended Posts

Following on from WSB2's unfortunate pulley "explosion", I've noticed in the last couple of days that my Auxillary drive belt tensioner has started to screech a bit, probably about to seize. (Its definately the pulley, not the belt)

 

Does anyody know if the bearing in the pulley can be relubricated? (ie. not a sealed unit)

 

Or, failing that, any of you guy's with an EPC give me a part number for a new one please?

by way i have the failed bit and i will try to take a pic.

 

It is now clear the arm didnt infact break.....it was the actual 3/4 thick stud on the bit that mounts to the block....good to know isnt it :faint: it snapped off right on base of the stud that the arm goes on

 

When i enquired about the bit it was around £94 if i remember correctly and it is the whole thing (block mounting + arm) not sure if you can buy the pulley on end of the arm seperatly...id hope you can.
