When you start your vehicle up and you can hear a high pitched squeak, not quite a belt squeal, but you just hear some squeaking from your engine compartment, it can sometimes be this idler pulley. We'll show you how to do that. The only tools you'll need are an 18 mm wrench and a 15 mm wrench. To change this idler pulley, first we're going to remove the belt, so 18mm wrench, your tensioner is right down here. Put the wrench right on the bolt, lift it up, just pull the belt right from there. You can actually let the belt go back tense. 15mm wrench. Before I do that, if you feel any play here, which I'm just twisting it and I can feel, I can see the pulley moving a little bit, and I can hear some shaking, so the bearings are starting to go bad. Pull it off, take the bolt out, take this plastic spacer off. Pull through, tighten it right on with your 15mm wrench, probably want to tighten about 20-25 foot-pounds. Use your 18mm back down on the tensioner, pull up, and you're all set.
