stevasaurus 22,968 #2 Posted May 8, 2022 It is the tension pulley. When you let out the clutch pedal, the tension pulley takes the slack out of the drive belt and the engine turns the transmission input pulley. Why do you think it needs replaced?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,968 #5 Posted May 8, 2022 If the pulley is good...ie. the bearing in the pulley is OK, it is fine. You do know that the belt guard needs to be in place for everything to work without grinding gears? The belt guard is actually your clutch. When you push in the clutch pedal, the tension pulley allows the drive belt to get slack in it. The belt guard funnels that slack toward the engine drive pulley, thus allowing the transmission input pulley to stop rotating. Once the input pulley stops, you can shift gears without grinding. 3 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I blew the bearing out of my idle tension pully and I need to know the bore thank you and no I did not know that about the belt guard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,968 #7 Posted June 12, 2022 @Achto or @WHX?? rebuilds those pulleys...I think. Drill out the rivets and replace the bearing...depends on how much is worn out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,968 #10 Posted June 12, 2022 They will come in a tell you, but I think they did a thread, if you want to search for it. Should be in Transmissions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,176 #13 Posted June 13, 2022 Have found pulleys lately that are induction welded for the full circumference at the bottom of the V. No way to get them apart. The most common bearing is a 6203 as there is a series of bushings made to reduce the 17mm metric inside diameter to a 3/8", 1/2" or 5/8" ID for the mounting bolt. https://www.princessauto.com/en/idler-sprocket-bushings/product/PA1000001195?skuId=8070674 6203 bearings are also available with a 5/8" and 3/4" ID Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
