What tool are you using to remove/install the bearing on either the idler pulley or the belt tensioner pulley? Brand and model number would be great. Thanks.

Stab it and steer it
Re: Tool to remove/install tensioner/idler pulley bearing
The original idler pulley is plastic. Don't bother. And yes you can get the bearings out. Just about ain't worth it though. Just change the things. The money is in the tensioner, try to buy just the pulley unless your tensioner is toast.

Re: Tool to remove/install tensioner/idler pulley bearing
I have a steel idler pulley, and I'm looking for a way to remove the bearing so I can get the pulley chrome plated. Same with the tensioner pulley.
Yes, the bearing can be removed because I paid a shop to do it before. I just want to do it myself this time. Look at my chrome plated tensioner pulley in the picture below:

30 ton would prolly flatten the entire pully. :rotf: I always forget about the bling. :roll:

Re: Tool to remove/install tensioner/idler pulley bearing
why not get something like this?

How much does the chrome plating cost anyway?

Re: Tool to remove/install tensioner/idler pulley bearing
Ooh, that's pretty (not sure about the bearing ID though). I have a March polished aluminum idler pulley. The problem is the ID for the bearing is too big (around 17mm) for our 12mm mounting bolt.
It's around $30 to chrome plate the idler pulley if I remember correctly. It has been a while.

I only mention the 30ton press because that what I have. But like Dave said I have to move alot of stuff to use it because I don't have enough room.

That would be great Jeff. Let me get the exact ID of the bearing.

Re: Tool to remove/install tensioner/idler pulley bearing
No prob. I know where of you speak. I'm space limited as well. At least now the Sy is running so I can do musical cars for oil changes and such.

Re: Tool to remove/install tensioner/idler pulley bearing
OK, here is what the March 725 billet aluminum idler/tensioner pulley looks like:
And here is a pic showing the bearing:
The bearing is 6203-2RS-C3.
Bore Diameter: 17 millimeters
Outside Diameter: 40 millimeters
Overall Width: 12 millimeters
We would need a 17mm OD x 12mm ID x 12mm thick spacer to make this pulley work in our application.

Re: Tool to remove/install tensioner/idler pulley bearing
Here are the specs for the required spacer:
OD: 0.669"
ID: 0.472"
Width: 0.472"
A lip on the front is not a bad idea.

Whatever you can find would work.
