Upper Idler Pulley Does Not Turn by Hand... Arena Red - Saturday, 15 January, 2011, at 5:45:46 pm |
The idlers should turn easily, all the pumps should turn without making noise....... JFP in PA - Saturday, 15 January, 2011, at 5:55:34 pm |
Any guidance on replacing the idlers? .... Arena Red - Saturday, 15 January, 2011, at 8:42:17 pm |

Do you turn the tensioner pulley bolt on the front clockwise or counter clockwise? Arena Red - Sunday, 16 January, 2011, at 12:28:50 pm |
Think of the spring loaded tensioner as being the "nut" on the end of a bolt.............. JFP in PA - Sunday, 16 January, 2011, at 12:43:03 pm |
Counter clockwise? *NM* Arena Red - Sunday, 16 January, 2011, at 12:51:50 pm |
It is a standard righthand thread, so counter clockwise. *NM* JFP in PA - Sunday, 16 January, 2011, at 12:54:26 pm |

Arena Red
the top/middle, small pulley (is this the tensioner?) has burned rubber built up around it and the belt was stuck on the lower large pulley. I started the engine breifly and did not hear any distinct noises to identify if a particular pulley is causing the problem. Couple questions:
- Where can I find a diagram of the belt routing?
- Which pulleys should be able to be rotated by hand to help with diagnosis?
- I have the older belt (the one that burned up only 7,000 miles on it) and was thinking of putting on the older belt to help with further diagnosis
- I went to Mike Focke's site but the link to the serpentine belt replacement no longer works
- Any guidance appreciated to diagnose and repair my 98' Boxster with 68,000 miles
Thanks
