Hi
One of my Idler pulley wheels on my Volvo D4-260A-B is making some noise, so I've decided to replace them all.
I ordered the replacements and have been provided with the metal idler pulleys, which replace the existing plastic ones.
The instructions for the wheel for the compressor belt suggests that I've to take an Angle Grinder to the engine block, to cut away a few mm of metal which fouls the new wheel/belt combination.
I don't fancy doing that unless I really need to, besides getting access to the engine with an angle grinder will be a real challenge!
Has anyone done a replacement of the pulley wheels and come against the same problem?
Any tips on how I can resolve this as efficiently as possible?
