Default Part # help

Looking for the pulley idler that is on the drivers side,down low near the power sterring pulley,it looks to be different than the others,not as thick and has a plate that hold it in place.

Heres a couple pictures of the idler that I'm looking for a part # for,Its not like the other 3 I have,this one is larger in Diameter,I took one of the others off to see if it would work and it will not.FYI I do have a Kenne Bell S/C'er and I'm not sure if this is something they add on the install or not.





Any help would be great,it almost looks like a spacer is missing if you look at the bolt size versus the bearing diameter,it started making a little noise yesterday and today was real bad.

I no longer have my C-5 so I don't know if that's a stock tensioner pulley or not but know that with the bearing number on the side of your bearing, you can go to just about any machine shop and they'll replace it for you. Bearings are really cheap.

Just call Gene Culley and tell him you need the idler pulley that attaches to the power steering bracket.

It is a stock idler I found out,they want 70 bucks for a new one,the bad thing is the idler is good still,I only need the plate that the bold goes through and they won't just sell that,you have to buy it all.I looked at a new one and can see that the only difference is mine is flat and the new one has a bulge where the bold goes through.Oh well might have to just pony up and spend the 70 bucks.
