2F AC idler pulley

[ceylonfj40nut]

Does anyone know if these are still available new? Need one for my fj60.

I will post on classifieds for used one in the mean time.

The pully uses a standard bearing. It's also pretty easy to disassemble. Take it apart and you'll find the bearing number stamped/embossed on the bearing.

Yep just figured that out

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Thanks man. I managed to clean it and repack with grease. Works like new.

$5 for a tub o grease that I can use for an axle job later.

NSK6302V is the bearing number stamped on mine. Thank you for the post.

Dunno. That bearing looks like crap and it's been running dry (looks like). For a $10 bearing you really wanna risk it seizing and the belt snapping? Very easy to pop that bearing out.

Chinese bearing is cheap as $3

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Still running strong. Agree if the bearing was worn out.

That bearing/pulley hardly makes contact With the belt. It probably would’ve worked just fine even without it on there. When I got mine, the pulley wasn’t even making contact with the belt. I also repacked mine several months ago and it’s been fine.

With the engine stopped, that idler barely makes contact, but with the engine running and A/C on, the belt deflects (that's why the idler is there) and at 2500 engine RPM that small bearing is spinning something like 30K rpm.

That pic above is laid out backwards.
Mine was installed that way and the idler had rubbed against the mount, heated up and was seized. Finally found this pic.
Also, for some reason, o'reillys shows that part number as a bearing with one open side like one of the above pics. napa shows it sealed...

With the AC belt tight and the engine off, should you be able to spin the idler pulley?

the 2F TAN FAS outlines the correct adjustment procedure and specs.
