my belt tensioner or pulley is making squealing noises on cold startup, should i replace the entire unit or just try and find a replacement pulley/bearing?

any tips?

Thanks

Anybody have a spare (preferably new) VR6 tensioner and pulley?

[doridori]

Just saw a white vr6 give it a downshift and a blip in carlingford under the M2 overpass. Anybody here?

Keep it away from the weather in a garage or shed, put up on blocks and disconnect the battery.

Or just give it to me

How do you remove rear wheel bearings?
Punch them out with a socket and hammer?

There's one either side.

If oem discs/drum, the taper is built in so the bearing should just fall out.

Non oem stuff uses a tapered sleeve that has to be bashed in. But the bearing it's self is still loose.

So, you shouldn't have to hit the bearings out. If you do, need to pry/wedge a screwdriver through to the opposite side bearing

Thanks Hayden,
The outside came out but I've not pulled the inside out and am guessing I need to remove the abs ring first.
Will give it a go tomorrow.

If anyone needs some maroon panels let me know. I need to clear some space and have all doors complete with power window regs, glass etc, a front guard and bonner.

Cheers!
