My adjuster is missing. My idler pulley is whinning i guess the bearings are shot. But I need to use the idler adjuster to loosen the belt.

This is how mine look!





This is mine again!

 

I fixed it sounds good as new. When you break the bolt on the pulley if gave me a little room to slide the adjuster up just enough to grab it with my 6mm. Someone had adjusted it all the way down instead of all the way up. Now it looks like how it does in the first pic. And the whine is gone. I just got another pulley off of a acura vigor.

 

Funny that I just changed this same pulley out a week ago. Glad you got it fixed!

 

Just saw your PM regarding this issue, but couldn't reply because your inbox exceeded it's limits. I was going to suggest breaking the center 14mm nut to unlock the pulley, but just saw your post and glad that you got it figured out. Anyhow, welcome to the forum!

 

when mine was whining.. i took the bearings out of the pulley and replace the bearings.. good cheap $3

 

Do you have a link to the bearings you used?

 

the part number for the bearings is 6203rs..
