Idler Pulley?

[Tal95er]

Hey guys,

For about a week now I have been having rattling problem right near my belts. I know it is a pulley and what pulley it is but I have no idea on how to replace it. The pulley that is making the noise is the pulley is on the same belt as the crank/AC. I think the shop said it was the idler pulley. Is that right. How do I go abot replacing this one. I couldn't find any faqs on it either so any help would be appreciated.

It's called the tension pulley and is mounted to the tension pulley bracket. You remove the whole thing and then replace the pulley on the bracket. Remove by loosing both tension bracket bolts, loosen belt tension adjustment screw till belt is loose, and then remove the 2 bolts.

ok that makes sense now by looking at it. But how in the world are you supposed to get at it??
