u can check to see if its a bearing by putting a yard stick or something similar to each pulley and listen for one thats louder than the other, it'll sound like a grinding noise

put the yard stick to the bolt that holds the pulley on... it must be running while you do this so be carefull

another way is to just take the belt off and spin the pulleys by hand, listening for noise.

ok so theres no coolant on the belt and the belts not glazed or anything, i hear a squeaking comming from one of the pulleys (i tried the yardstick thing but my mom saw me and kinda rode my ass for it and called me a dumbass and asked what drugs i was on) lol the sound seems to be comming from the upper left pulley? i think, i dont know what pulley it is

no you dont need a puller. just a 15mm (if i remember right) socket. usually the only thing you need a puller for is power steering or harmonic balancer.

ok so kinda pissed... mom woke me up this morning and made me take my car to her mechanic guy, lol supposedly my parents dont trust me to change some little part.
lol anyway on the way over to his place the squealing totally stopped so when we opened up the hood and started the car i sounded like an idiot telling him it squealed when there were no squeals at all .only good thing comming out of this is that im saving some gas money because my GF is driving me around till its fixed ![]() thanks for all yalls help on the subject |

ok, so the car came back from the mechanic and Don, i think you were the most right about it, it was both those parts, and he changed the belt... still kinda pissed because its money out of my pocket but he only charged us 80 for parts and labor so not totally bad
