Default pulley replacement video

I need to replace my idler pulley and my ac tensioner pulley. I found this video which I found to be very helpful.


My question is that the video says I can use a tensioner pulley as an idler pulley and vise versa. The tensioner pulley's are only $10 bucks and the idler pulleys are around $30. Is there a better brand that you guys would go with? Trying to fix my squeek for cheap and wd40 just isn't cutting it anymore. What do you guys reccomend as far as a good pulley for a good price?

the tensioner pulley and idler are the same size pulley but the tensioner pulley will come with a new tensioner assembly not just the pulley. I got mine at advance they are billet instead of OEM plastic.

You might pull the original pulleys off, pop the grease seal off, and re-grease them. As long as the bearings haven't burned up, a good high-temp marine grease should take care of the issue.

Re-grease the pulleys before you buy new ones.
