Have an 87 Corolla 4ALC (I believe).
Seems to be a very slight squealing noise which I think I have isolated to what I believe is the idler pulley.
Didn't spend much time looking at it, as it has been pouring rain and the noise is so slight and I have no "indoor repair" area at the moment.
I haven't replaced one of these for some 25 years, and then it was on a Datsun 210 and it was a simple job.
This looked a bit more complicated. Anyone have any words of encourage or (dis)couragement?
How many miles are on the accessory drive belt? What is the belt's condition?
An idler pulley should not be that difficult to replace.
I remember replacing the belt about five, six years ago. So, probably
60K or so, give or take 10-20K.;>0
Just the bearing can be easily replaced inexpensively -- probably has an SWF # on it.
