Serpentine belt snapped 3 hours from home. This pulley is the only one not spinning and I'm not sure if it's supposed to or not. Not trying to pay for a 3 hour tow home. Have to get new belt and maybe pulley soon.
The pulley I'm talking about is the middle on the left.
Thank you.
Middle on the left is an idler pulley, it should spin freely.
If it doesn't, it's a single bolt to remove, and it's not connected to anything.
There's some spacers and a washer in there though... Keep them in order.
Local parts store may have a crappy aftermarket replacement.
Keep the stock pulley, buy replacement bearings... I have the numbers sitting around somewhere.
EDIT: SKF 6203 2RSJEM thanks @ Slow Crash.
... If that pulley seized up, that's definitely the cause of your snap.
Yeah that pulley is totally seized. Thank you for the help gonna try and get the parts as fast as I can so I can drive it home. "Luckily" I'm on vacation
Got it fixed. I've got some pictures of the bearing I'll upload when I get off work. The heat didn't fuse anything. Just took me a minute to realize it wasn't reverse threaded lol.
