Well I swapped the alternator over on old Miffy this afternoon and whilst I was in there I decided to take a look at this pulley bearing.
Short answer... Job done...! This is a very very easy job to do. I did use a vice, but to be honest I could have done it with nothing more than a socket and a lump hammer. There are no circlips to worry about. It is just a case of pressing the old bearing out and pressing the new one in. To remove all you need is a 1 1/4" socket. It fits perfectly onto the bearing casing without fouling on the pulley. It is a friction fit so the first bit is a little tight, but easily removed with a vice by pushing the socket through the pulley.

Make sure it is seated properly. Click image to enlarge Refit to the vehicle. The old bearing (no name or markings) had previously dried out completely and as such had a lot of axial play in the bearing. I cleaned and repacked with grease until I could do this job. Having done it and found the bearing to use, if your pulley is in good shape then this is a very easy cost effective DIY job. No need to replace the whole thing anymore. Details: Timken 6303 2RS/C3 Ball bearing 17mm x 47mm x 14mm Price: £5.50 For pulley ERR6658 (£20-90) and ERR6493 (£25-50) found on TD5 engines. |

Needs to be a sticky topic ?
I will certainly keep watching as a way of keeping your info.... I will check my pulley tomorrow, easy as the belt is off at the moment 😉 |

Good luck with the pulleys. Look for axial play and listen out for a growling around the belts at idle
