110K miles. idler pulley broke apart. I've never seen a pulley fail like this. what remains of the pulley still spins free, just the back part broke off. the serp belt was destroyed in the process. then the bumper cap got ripped when the car was offloaded from the tow truck. great.
I'm having trouble finding this pulley. Also don't see how to remove it. is it integrated into another assembly thus justifying charging 3-4 times as much?



missing a few ribs on the back side


thanks Mr. tow truck driver

 

figured out the pulley has a plastic cover hiding a T50 torx head bolt. so removing it is no problem.

 

You an download the Service Manual and read all about fixing your car.
Look for it in the Documentation Collection on this forum and you will find it there, download the PDF and save it to your computer.

 

yes, i think i did that last time i had a problem
i just took a quick look and couldn't see the bolt hidden behind the cover.

this car just intimidates me for some reason, i should go in with a more positive attitude.
