Jim Bowen 1 Posted June 18, 2018 Got a couple of spares and would like to replace the bearing, am sure i've heard of people doing it. Whats the best way to get the bearing out of the pulley? Been hammering away at it but not budged. Got a spare pulley to practice on luckily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted June 18, 2018 It's molded into the pulley. If you use a Stanley blade and follow it round the edge, it's only in by about .5 mm. If you shave the lip off, you can push it out the other side mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simeon 0 Posted June 18, 2018 I did this a few days ago, as above, I used a stanley to cut the lip off on one side, it's quite obvious when you get to the outer edge of the bearing. It then presses out in a vice with an appropriately sized socket :) Clean up the lip, press in the new one, job done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted June 18, 2018 Excellent news, a job for tonight, what bearing do people refit to it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simeon 0 Posted June 18, 2018 Details are on this link, I actually used a FAG bearing from local supplier, cost about £4.50 http://wiki.the-corrado.net/vr6_belt_tensioner_pulley_repair.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
