Stupid question - Idler pulley

wdixon077 · 12-23-2003, 05:07 PM

Any hints for removing the idler pulley bolt (and which way do you turn it to remove it)? Either direction I try, it won't budge, and I can't find any documentation on this.

Thanks!!

It will loosen counter-clockwise, so pull up from the driver's side.
You may have to get something with good leverage because sometimes those bolts will be in there pretty good.
