A2 Serpentine idler bearing

[Andyrv6av8r]

I've got a 6.5, A2 engine with the serpentine belt that , on startup, has a squeal from one of the idler pulley bearings. Does anyone have a part number for the bearing? I'd like to press in a new one rather than replace the entire pulley.

OK. Let me verify if it's my idler or the compressor blank idler. Thanks.

 

[86humv]

I have both.

After some quick troubleshooting and a shot of silicon, I deduced that my serpentine belt is causing the squeak. I have one on order now. Thanks 86humv for the replacement parts offer.

Is it the belt OR is the tensioner beginning to fail?

I sprayed directly on the belt at the alternator pulley and it immediately stopped squeaking.
