Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 8, 2005 Support Team Share Posted March 8, 2005 Right - have hacksawed off the plastic pulley but can't see how the new alloy one goes on. Do I have to undo the Torx screw that holds the bearing on? It looks like if I take the bearing off put pulley on and then put bearing back on that the pulley is held on by the bearing. Someone mentioned a circlip which looks like it should fit in a groove inside the pulley. Does this sound right? If so what size is the Torx screw? The ones I have are too small so will have to go and buy another . Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Payne Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 You do have to remove the bearing and mount it in the alloy pulley with the circlip. Don't know what size torx bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 8, 2005 Author Support Team Share Posted March 8, 2005 Thanks Allen. Looks like another trip to Halfords - I really should have bought shares . Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 9, 2005 Author Support Team Share Posted March 9, 2005 OK bearing off, pulley fitted and bearing plus pulley refitted. Can someone please confirm that the circlip should be on the "outside" of the pulley i.e. the front of the car when fitted. This is important I think becasue the U section is thicker on the front of the pulley than at the back and that would probably affect the belt path.

Dave McCulloch Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Shaun If you read this, did you end up with the circlip away from, or towards the tensioner mechanism? I don't actually have the flanged tensioner pulley yet as it's out of stock with none expected til the end of the month... But I did get the rest of the DS kit delivered and am working out how it all fits together. Useful that the instructions still make no mention of this.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted January 15, 2006 Author Support Team Share Posted January 15, 2006 Dave - I'm pretty sure that the circlip is on the outside i.e. front of car. Can't check it now for a couple of days but if you haven't had an answer, blatmail me on Wednesday and I'll double check for you.

david nelson Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 my circlip is the front of the car. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 circlip goes on the front of the pulley ( facing radiator) . There is only one way it will fit otherwise the pulley makes contact with the tensioner body - please check the clearance !

Support Team Shaun_E Posted January 16, 2006 Author Support Team Share Posted January 16, 2006 Make sure you loctite the bolts that hold the pump to the cage. One of mine worked loose and ended up rubbing on the inside of the pulley . This could have been fatal for the engine. Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave McCulloch Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Thanks guys. I guess it may have been obvious if I actually had the pulley... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
