With grinding down the sleeve, would that not cause a little more vibration under the hood on count of the engine?
I have not done the job yet, but will be needing to before too long.

I believe that the grinding was done only to take an edge off since it'* hard to slip that "sleeve" back in, as tight as the fit is. When I did mine, it was obvious that some mechanic had already done that to mine.
Notice grinding someone did. I don't think any length was taken out.
Ok, so the focus was wrong, but you can still see what I'm talking about.

idler pulley
That is right I ground just the edge to help tilt it in. Now on the 96 K engine. Is idler pulley reverse thread or standard. I searched and didn't get a clear answer. I don't want to break the tensioner and figure pulley is orginal 75k on it and want to change it.

But you will, for most car repairs, need a heavy fuse, the equivalent of a big ol 60 amp.
Funny tho, looking in the stupid hanes manual, I think they say to remove the engine mount and support the engine. that of course is the hard way.

Thx for the reverse thread info. "Someone" should add the belt replacement procedure to the Maint/repair thread since it is a common ? and the server is getting full. Are any of the gods listening. I thought it was listed when tech info was listed as common problems.
