FYI. Threaded adjuster shown in video is part of Dorman "Idler Pulley Adjuster Bolt Kit" part number 917-124.
Thank you! That definitely should be in the description!
Sitting in front of my car now. Thank GOD someone had my exact issue replacing the pulley. So hard to find decent Subaru videos for my problems. Much love brother 🙏🏻
Ive seen most all of yours guys videos, and literally today my pulley split in two and this was in my recommended before i even searched it. Big shout out
you’re a legend thank you! Just picked up an 03 Z as a project car and my 07 impreza (my daily) decides it wants some work done to it aswell!! Made the repair 100x easier!
Just fixed mine. Thanks for the video. Instructions were great!
Thank you so much for this, my dude. Probably saved me hundreds doing it myself rather than paying a shop. Same process and part on my 08 Forester, only you have a lot more room it looks like. 😆
Thanks for the video. Helped me to get minen done & enjoying the smoother sounds now!
Just had to change my pully, thanks so much for the video! Really helped. My old pully completely spilt i, two. It was plastic!
Same!! I just fixed my today
same, just fixed mine and got the part from partsgeek for 7 dollars. thanks for the help
Thanks saved me from being robbed again. Its always a good thing to replace the belts if any sign of damage.
Had mine seize today on my bugeye rs. Good video
Great video, you are very articulate. Changing my tensioner today.
You have just helped me so much, thankyou!
Nice video, clear, thoughtful, with some good tips!
Thanks!
Dope as always!
Just change my pulley. Not to bad, had to buy the part you said would break. Oreilly had the whole kit. Job done thanks for the video.
Just fixed mine. No more noise! Thanks for the great video.
What kind of noise was your making
@@MohammedShahid694mines making a super loud schreeching sound hby
Excellent vid, got this job to do when the part arrives! Thank You
Did the job yesterday - your vid really helped, thanks
Never open wrench to crack a 10 mm in the northeast US. Good video.
Helped a lot! Thanks!
What do you do about the jam nuts under the top tensioner bolt?
thanks! super helpful
Im curious what sound was it making exactly? Mines making this whining noise and its rpm related, im not sure if its tbe bearing inside of the compressor clutch or the pulley you replaced here
Super helpful bro, ty
I'm trying to find out if it matters (cause I'm sure it does.)where the Idler pully is positioned on the bracket. In his video he called it a holder(sounds like a good name to me lol) but the long bolt the holder is attached to aligns with the slot in the bracket so the pylly can be moved up and down when tightening the tension for the belt. Does it matter where the pulley or holder is first positioned on the bracket and long bolt? It seems to be fairly at the bottom of the bolt and in the slot, but we've shredded two belt trying to do this so far and I'm not sure what we're doing wrong. We tightened the belt till you can only twist the belt 180° or straight up and down like another video said to do. Drove around fine, got home and found 1/2 the belt shredded off... any ideas or advice???
Hi I have a 10 Subaru Forester, where do you recommend me to get the pulley and which bran?
thanks for the video bro
I keep having the problem of my tensioner wheel hitting my timing belt wall, Is there any piece that separates the tensioner wheel and the timing belt cover?
I see you zip tied it to the bracket to stop the annoying rattling I assume? Were there any negative affects from that? I'm in the same situation you're in and just waiting for the part to come in the mail.
Strait Gangstar!!
Does the new pulley need to spin?
thanks bruh!
Will you guys be attending Subiefest .?
What noise was it making?
dang dude, i've never seen a video with no thumbs down and i've seen no thumbs down in like 3 of your videos haha, keep it up
Alex Barrera thanks man! :)
So impressive how you learn how to this all on your own!
Hey ! :) I have a wrx and I’m trying to find that whole bracket for my car but I can’t find it anywhere. What is it technically called to order?
Heres the part numbers, you can get the complete kit off eBay.
PULLEY 73131FC0001
AC ADJUSTER 73134AC0011
AC BOLT73790AC100
Does anyone have a part number???
Just finished watching your video an realised that you were using a normal wrench. You should buy ratchet wrench honestly its one of the best tool you'll ever buy.
Cheers from canada
spforsupergringo1980 actually it was a ratcheting wrench :) I just couldn't get that side in there with enough room to turn the wrench
I agree there were two spots where I had to use a offset box wrench as my ratchet would not fit.
It's called a idler pulley replacement bolt kit btw guys
mine broke too! can’t believe they’re plastic stock. thats insane
LMFAO THE SAME THING JUST HAPPENED TO ME, I was on my way back from Subaru with the part when I saw this, 11$ plastic btw
Hello, im looking to buy subaru wrx or sti, i have money for wrx now but would it be worth to wait and get an sti? When u drove wrx did you feel that you were missing something? and i have read people say that they are totally different cars. thoughts?
get an sti. i have an 02 bugeye and a 17 sti. 5 speed is garbage. brembos are nice, stock wrx brakes also blow.
1:55 those plastic piece always break when someone trys to release the tension on the belt without loosening the nut. I've done it 3 times and have learned my lesson after going to the dealer to get em haha
TheMagicBambi cheap little things haha
I’m in Australia and I just broke that plastic piece yesterday while changing the A/C belt. The part is called an idler pulley adjuster. I had to buy one from a Subaru dealer. Such a weak little part! Nice vid by the way!
I bought mine from NAPA parts..... got a metal one.... not more of that plastics shit from the dealer.... I may have paid a bit more at $40.00 but I hope to have this car for a while
What is this piece called? How do I find a replacement if all I have to go on is “little plastic piece”?
The outro is always so loud
HeWasNamedJesus it was extra loud today for some reason, sorry about that!
SubieTroops it's all good man I love your guys videos
I keep going crazy, looking at different torque specs for all of these different bolts and nuts and driving myself Crazy trying to solve my own belt chirp issues.
But does anyone go by the factory torque specs? It’s true from what I’ve read the top bolts that hold the pulley housing to the block should be around 17ftlbs and the ones below 16.6ft lbs or some nonsense like that so your right. Not too tight.. but. … doesn’t seem like anyone does the torque specs. It’s like all feel maybe. Idk. Also the factory says to snug the adjuster up 5ftlbs after locking the pulley nut. Do I need to go crazy worrying about this stuff Ahhahaha I’ve gone mad lol Or was the the alternator that is snugged up 5ftlbs …
What do you think?
Thanks for the awesome video
Part number of broken part
Genuine Subaru. 73134AC001
Think you have to change the belt also...

How much was the little broken piece you bought at o o o o'rilleys ?
kevin dahlr the part is 10-20 bucks. Parts geek has it for 9.98
kevin dahlr what was the name of the piece? I need it as well but i don’t know what to ask for?
Pauly P it is called an “idler pulley adjuster”. See this link for a diagram and other parts. www.subaruparts.com/auto-parts/2004/subaru/impreza/wrx-trim/2-0l-h4-gas-engine/cooling-system-cat/belts-and-pulleys-scat
Tylee Cairns sweet thanks, i tried finding an oem replacement at autozone i had no luck but i found a replacement kit for about $16 on amazon
Do you happen to know the oreillys part number?
Would be cool to see a gc8 build lol

Ive got a 97 coupe ;)
hopefully they have this little piece at Oreileys, Ya right
Common issue with that lil bracket, once u tighten the tensioner that bracket breaks... Good job thought bro.....
