Thank you for the video. I did mine today. I found the tensioner pulley to need an H8 allen, instead of a 10.

You're correct about the bit being a H8, thanks, I made a mistake on the size I mentioned in the video.

I need to do this exact job on my '13 outback. You've probably saved me hundreds in labor costs. Thanks for posting!

I thought the grinding/whirring sound I was hearing was my transmission going out, which I'm sure a shop would've "confirmed" as the problem if I had mentioned it. No. It was the two idler pulleys you showed how to replace. And the sound is now gone. Saved me hundreds if not thousands or a new car. Many thanks to you.🙏

Thanks for creating this video, your demo made the job a piece of cake when it was my turn. One minor detail--I was wondering why my 10mm hex wasn't working to get the tensioner bolt out, so I ended up pulling it with a T50. Once I had it out I discovered that a T50 corresponds to an 8mm hex. So close to justifying a new socket or 5, but alas I already had both a T50 and 8mm on hand. Maybe next time.

Is one of the pulleys on the water pump?

@sarahkathleen3231 10 ай бұрын

Do you have to add any lubricant to the center of the idler pulley? Like on the area where the pulley itself sits on the metal?

@thediyyardie7192 10 ай бұрын

there's something called anti-seize liquid, that's good to use for that purpose.

@hnng3919 Жыл бұрын

Just wonder why or when you also need to change the tensioner and idler pulley. Thx

@thediyyardie7192 Жыл бұрын

@hn ng, when the bearings in the pulley's become worn and dry it will make a high pitched shelly sound while the engine is running, I usually change all pulleys including tensioner once that happens, reason being, once one goes the others are close behind..

hey John, I've been fixing my own cars since a teenager, so for certain repairs I am able do by feel, cylinder heads, valve cover and a few other things I will use a torque wrench, this video is to show how I went about doing this repair, but you're welcome to research that info and use a torque wrench per your satisfaction, and you're welcome to post that info here also once you've found it, in the event anyone else may maybe seeking it..

Per the Subaru manual 26.6 ft-lbs (36Nm) for the idler and 18.4 ft-lbs (25Nm) for the tensioner.

Is one of the pulleys on the water pump?

@thediyyardie7192 3 ай бұрын

No, the water pump on this car is driven by the timing belt, there are three pulleys in all, two idlers and the tensioner.
