Idler Pulley Lock Nut and Bolt

SPOOL U · 05-30-2009, 02:11 PM

I'm looking for the Nut/Bolt assembly for the idler pulley on a 92'T.

My local dealer says these are discontinued.

Sure thing, but which idler pulley? The one on the A/C belt, or one of the timing belt idlers? And which bolt/nut combo exactly? Assuming you're working with the A/C idler and not the timing belt stuff, are you looking for the nut that holds the idler to its shaft/bolt, or the shaft/bolt it rotates around (not sold without the pulley), or the long adjuster bolt?

90179-10132 - $0.87 - Nut, A/C idler pulley
88440-26100 - $29.91 - A/C idler pulley assy.

I have the idler in stock and can get the nut within one business day.

Thanks Aaron, but I got a used one.

It's funny - I asked the dealer here if they had that lock nut and he told me that it was discontinued. I'm not sure what the deal is there. From now on, I'll just ask you guys.

"That's discontinued" is often code for "Go away, I don't want to spend ten minutes looking for a five dollar part that we won't have in stock and you probably won't want to pay for anyway."

In all honestly, I've thought about using that technique before as well. The old pickup guys who will spend three hours looking through the junkyard for a ten dollar part drive me crazy...
