So my idler pulley took a dump today and shredded all my belts. looks as if the bearing seized up. So now Im looking for a replacement and from searching I get a bunch of mixed info.
Ive read the original metal Lexus once used has changed and the newer one is too large.
Ive read that everyone is now using the J30 but some have said the part numbers posted (part # 450-8920) is wrong? Any recommendations? If I can use the J30 pulley that would be great becasue a buddy of mine is a mechanic for Infiniti.

Wah

 

No one huh?
Gues I will just take what I have to the local autoparts store and find something similiar.

 

If by idler pulley you mean tensioner pulley, I have an extra one you can have. Trust me you don't want to get one from the stealership. I already had to buy one and they are outrageous.

 

Same exact thing happened to me a few weeks ago. There was plastic crap all over the place. Went to the dealer and the new one they gave me was metal.

 

i was the on the found this Pulley u just have to use washer here the link for the part on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Infin...Q5fAccessories

 

No, I meant Idler pulley.

Thanks! Checking on this one now with my buddy at Infinity.
However just by looking at it, it seems quite a bit smaller then the previous one I was using.

 

Well I bought that one, and its smaller then my original one, plus the bolt holse is a different size.
So now Im out about 50 bux for this thing. i dont see how I can use it.

 

this is how it looks installed in the car

Im a tard, in my rushed quest to find a metal replacement I failed to remember that the V1 does not have a metal pulley available so I have to use the plastic Fernco pulley.
