Default Idler pulley replacement
I had the dreeded squealing noise. I pulled the idler pulley off and put a new one on but I can't get the bolt tight. I started the car and the bolt backs off. Any Ideas?
Thanks Laurence

If it's OEM pulley, make sure the (what looks like) dust washer is turned the right way. If it's not OEM, sometimes you have to discard that washer.

Thanks, after sitting back for a few minutes and drinking a nice cold one I removed the outer dust cover washer and everything is good.
Thanks again
