I have the special tool it's a spanner and a special rod that attachs to a air chisel. Just after snapping that left hand idler screw I dont want to do anymore unnecessary damage
Now that we know the idler pullies are left hand metric bolts do you know the size wrench are right or left hand thread for the clutch fan I can not budge it with a adjustable wrench and the clutch spanner
I have to check tommarow but you are correct the broken idler pully bolt is left hand thread I found part of the bolt under the jeep. I dont understand why they would use two idler pullies with left hand threads and the tensioner pully a right hand thread.
My housing that the bolts are in is cast iron. We must have different engines or talking about different pullies. I have 3 pullies one on the tensioner, and another 2. I am talking about the serpentine belt not the timing belt
It's the Serpentine and tensioner I figured I do the idlers at the same time. How can I find out if there right or left hand. Plus the bolt shaped almost flush I was figuring on grinding it totally flush and retapping a new hole
Does the water pump house the 2 idler pullies if I broke the idler studs buy replacing the water pump will that save me drilling and tapping and getting a new water pump at the same time
