It looks like either my alternator, air compressor, or the ider pulley are wearing out. I can hear a lot of squeeling from that part of the car, but haven't had a chance to see which one isn't spinning right.

So how hard is it to replace these pulleys and is it expensive? Trying to decide if I should tackle this one on my own or send it to the shop.

pulleys are about $35 each from a discount dealer..

not hard to replace at all. just like doing belts, only one more bolt.

its probably most likely the A/C idler pulley or the Alternator pulley bearing going bad on ya... got mine from the dealer.... $60 for the A/c pulley

$60?!

thanks for the info.

I can see the idler pully being easy, but if it's the air compressor or alternator that means the bearings are shot and I'll need to rip apart these parts to change the bearings, correct?

Hopefully, that won't be the case.
