Default Which pulley is this?

What do you call the pulley between the power steering pump and the water pump? The pulley that is on their doesnt have the metal part on the inside and is making the pulley rub agianst my alternator braket. Would I have to buy a another pulley or can I just get the metal part of it on the inside?

Its a fixed pulley, thats it.

But what do you mean there is no metal? Does it spin?

It is an idler pulley? The metal part im assumming is a washer or something not sure. The pulley is to close to the engine and has wore a groove into the alternator bracket. The main belt is not centered and is close to the edge of the pulley.

The pulley under the ps pump/reservoir is a fixed pulley.

Take some pics if you can.

There should be a dust cover on each side of the pulley DO NOT go to autozone, oriellys or any other parts store they will sell you a Gates brand pulley and the dust cover will not fit it. I had to order one from the dealer, Im in mobile also and not sure if I threw the old dust covers away from my old pulley let me know if thats all you need. My buddy at the dealership ordered me a new one and it came with everything pulley, dust covers, and bolt.

thunder I thought you were someone else, but I got some tires from you about a year ago if you only need the dust cover and washer for the back get up with me and I will give you the ones from my old pulley.

I would take them for sure. Would those give the pulley more spacing so that it wouldnt rub my bracket?

the pulley is not hurt in any way. It was squelling when it was rubbing the bracket but since it wore a grove in it the sqeak has stock. Im worried now about the belt coming off of the pulley since it is so close to the edge.
