Great vidro, my bro ! This helped. Just replaced power steering pump ($410 oem) bummer. Dropped nuts and sockets fumbling. Had to pull skid shield to retrieve them. Chilled on my back and found wiggly idler. Needed coaching. Thanks. I owe you a twelver.
Have a 2002 Tacoma and this video saved me a ton! Thanks for posting! I actually changed the power steering pump before realizing that wasn't the problem and discovered this video.
Thank you so much for this video. I picked up a 99 and it had this terrible whining noise that I felt like was the power steering pump but it was this and now the thing sounds almost brand new. I appreciate you.
I have a 96 and I just took off the dust cover and the nut and the dust cover are a single part. Not separate like yours. But thank you you helped me w lot
Thank you! Simple job, but I really appreciate you laying out all the details so I can get in there like I've already done it. Also today 6/16/2020 the Duralast Idler Pulley 231038 $26 had the same design as the stock one and a branded 6301 2RS bearing in it.
For reference, it's much easier and longer lasting to buy a quality Japanese 63012RS bearing, and press remove and install the new bearing into your old pulley. Then you can use the original dust shield for extra protection against debris.
Thanks bro, i got my old pulley off, and when the nut came off, every little piece of hardware fell off, too. So i didn't know the position of the piece closest to the bracket. First try, i put it in backwards and nearly melted the belt! Also, my new pulley's packaging said nothing about the dust cover piece being optional. So thanks buddy!
I apologize that your pulley wasn't put on the same way and that your replacement part wasn't identical to my own. I'm glad you were able to get it done though man!!😃
No, thank you for taking the time to comment! Encouragement and the knowledge that I am helping people learn and be entertained is a big part of why I do what I do.
so when im in only drive and reverse I hear like a grinding/rubbing noise which is pretty load. and I can feel the slight vibration under my feet by my pedals. while in park or neutral it does not seem to do it... Does that sound like a idler pulley?
Good video! I have the same motor in my 4Runner. FYI, your idler pulley is serviceable. You will need bearing 6301-2RS. Costs about $6-8 bucks. Unfortunately the 4runners idler pulley are not serviceable 😢
@@Tyler-nh7dx You can buy sockets that are designed to grip and remove stripped bolts. Unless you can find a different sized socket that somehow still grips the head that would be my course of action.
I’ve been trying to find a video of someone taking the bolt off for the pulley. My tensioner bolt is broke off into the back of it. I haven’t been able to find any forums on it
My 2010 volkswagen tiguan has a foamy plastic dust cover but because of heat and alittle oil, it's like sticking out and looks like tearing apart. It's the pulley on the downside of my alternator. Do I really need it or should I just rip it off? The other pulleys didn't have it besides the one up top of side alternator.
The best part was how you described the noises. That was very helpful. My truck has the same noises.
I'm glad it helped!
😂😂😂 it was perfect

I'm so glad it was helpful!

Good job young man! This was a big help
Thank you!! Glad to hear it!

That's really good to know for the future. Thank you!
Ordered it thanks way better 7$ is way better than paying 50 for a new pulley

Great sound effects bud
Yeah my GoPro picks up every little vibration from the grip... trying to work out a solution but I haven't really found any yet.
Thanks for doing this!

I have a 95 taco v6 does the same thing. I had no idea what it was. Thanks for the video!!!
Hopefully this solves the problem! It took me about two hours to do this and that was with filming so it's not too terrible of a job.
@@DartBProductions just changed the pully noise is gone!! Thank you so much easy fix took 20 min. Well it took my dad 20 min lol.
@@Juan67_Az Hey that's awesome bro!!
Thumbs up for the onomatopoeia alone. great work!
Hahaha thanks glad you enjoyed
Thank you so much I just fix my 2000 Toyota 4Runner I had the same problem
Happy to help you out!
Appreciate my braddah solid
Thanks so much!
Was there a shoulder spacer on the back of the original old pulley? If so did you use it when installing the new one ?
Outstanding!!
Thanks so much!!

I don't think that's your idler pulley, for me it was just a whirring noise, nothing like that
1.When it was making noise did you ever take it on the freeway 2. Did it randomly run smooth and then rough out of nowhere and result in lack of power
I took it on the freeway and the noise got kinda sketchy sounding but it never ran weird or anything like that
@@DartBProductionsDid you replace your air compressor pulley? On the freeway I hear a roaring sound from the motor
I did not. Hope you can get that figured out dude
@@DartBProductions Turned out to be a worn fan clutch
@@ryanlucascarrasco That's my next move is the fan clutch. I replaced the idler pulley today with an OEM part and the noise is still there.
Good video! I have the same motor in my 4Runner. FYI, your idler pulley is serviceable. You will need bearing 6301-2RS. Costs about $6-8 bucks. Unfortunately the 4runners idler pulley are not serviceable 😢
Good to know! I didn't know that before, wish I had.
Hey I stumbled across your video, I broke my adjuster bolt today on my 4runner. Any idea how to tackle this ?
Broke as is sheared clean off or just stripped?
@@DartBProductions stripped the head off.
@@Tyler-nh7dx You can buy sockets that are designed to grip and remove stripped bolts. Unless you can find a different sized socket that somehow still grips the head that would be my course of action.
Dude. I have been listening to the same weird sounds and wondering what the hell was going on. Thanks for the info.
Glad to help
I’ve been trying to find a video of someone taking the bolt off for the pulley. My tensioner bolt is broke off into the back of it. I haven’t been able to find any forums on it
Thanks for this video!
How far did you have to back out the tensioning bolt to loosen the belt? I have backed it quite a bit, but there is no slack being created.

What exhaust do you have?
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast - son :)
Indeed - thanks!!
Disconnecting the battery to replace a pulley??? What's the point of that?
It's not necessarily necessary, but it never hurts to have everything disconnected
Its a very helpful video. I cant wait to change on my 2002 4Runner. Are you replacing with an aftermarket or OEM. Do you have the part number.
Thanks! This was an aftermarket parts from Rock Auto, I'm afraid I don't have the part number.
What did you use to loose the tensioner?
See 4:00 - it's a pretty convoluted mashup of tools
is the idler pulley the same as the A.C. pulley?
No the idler pulley is the idler pulley
My idler pulley wasn’t even spinning 😂💯
My 01 Tacoma makes the same roaring noise
Good luck finding that fix!!
@@DartBProductions It was the clutch fan!!
You just pissed off Toyota Dealer Mechanics. They will have to cheat more customers to make up for your repair video.
I'm glad to be helping the people!
Who goes to the dealer mechanic?
Do yourselves a favor and just buy a genuine toyota pulley.
Yeah that's always the safest bet
