Re: How to replace idler pulley behind right side Mtr Mt. '97 PAU
First of all, the idler pulleys are left-hand thread and should turn clockwise to loosen. In order to change the 3" pulley, the motor mount the bracket will need to be removed. Place a jack with a piece of wood between the pan & jack to support the engine. There is one bracket bolt behind the PS pump which will require removal of the PS bolts and moving the PS pump to the side. (One PS bolt can only be accessed through the hole in the PS pulley.) If you want to remove the bracket from the top, you need to remove the coil mount bracket and set it aside. Unless you have all the tools & skills to do the job, it might be better to have an experienced mechanic do it for you. It is not a job for the novice DIY's!
