    Default Replacing top (ignition) idler pulley

    I'm trying to change the top idler pulley, not the tensioner pulley. I can't get it undone though. Is it reverse thread? the bottom (ac) pulley was a regular thread.

    or i could just man up a bit and try turning it the correct way

    I must have misread the gregorys book.

    Didn't even need a breaker bar.

    Next problem - i left the new pulley on my front seat and it has been in full sun for a few hours. Too hot to handle.
