Tensioner Pulley ??

[DaveSch]

I've noticed that the pulley which maintains tension on the drive belt on my VT V6 seems to be making a clicking sound from where it attaches to the engine.

Has anyone had this replaced ??? and if so what was the rough cost?? Thanks

If it's the pulley bearing, I've replaced a few. Around $30-40 for a pulley.

The early ones are plastic and prone to breakage due to crap bearings. An all metal replacement is available. Be very very careful torquinge the thing on...the post/thread is easily busted :whistling
