Anyone Replace the Bearing in the Power Steering Idler Pulley in 2nd Gen?
I am trying replace just the PS bearing in the pulley and would like to know the size and/or part number and if it needs to pressed in/out. Same info on the AC idler would help if you have it too. The dealership wants $70 and the bearing is $10, so there is some money to be saved. I did this on a '82 Celica and saved the about the same $$$.

Yes, they usually sell them at the dealership as an assembly. If someone knows the bearing number then I can go bearing outlet house, get the bearing and have have the shop press it in/out. I thought I read somewhere that the AC pulley was held in by a c-clip - can't confirm though.

Yes, I look at a similar bearing, but it is only shielded and not sealed on each side. Thanks for the info though. What I ended up doing is getting an aftermarket Gates #36115 pulley assembly with the bearing and works good so far. All the pulley dimensions are the same OD, ID and width, the only slight difference was .030 inch offset at the bearing mounting. With this dimension it actually centers the belt better than the OEM pulley.
