Need help removing Idler

ntltfc · 11-01-2008, 04:48 PM

Hi All,

I have just replaced A/C tensioner and drive belt tensioner. I'm in the process removing the idler but it just won't come off. Am I suppose to loosen the bolt counterclockwise or clockwise? I'm pretty sure it is counter but not 100%.

Thanks

Also, please advise on how to remove the hose connected to the radiator.

Thanks

Hope this is the last question. I noticed my pulleys have a lot of sand in them. Should I clean with water, compress air, or some other stuff?

In case anyone is interested, to remove the idler turn counter-clockwise. Mine was very tight because it has alot of mud in it.
