I knew that there was some play in the idler pulley before, so I changed the alternator and then replaced it as well. Idler pulley genuine product. Part number: 11927-VC800 It’s easy to replace. Loosen the nut in the center to free it, so use the adjust bolt below to raise the pulley and remove the belt. After removing the belt, lower the pulley to remove the nut, remove the washer inside like a lid, and remove the pulley. The bearing of the old idler pulley that I removed was still loose. Installation is completed easily in the reverse procedure. Since the bearing is quite loose with respect to the shaft, the backlash is not completely eliminated. I think that it is better to replace the shaft if it seems that the backlash is too bad even if it is replaced. Since this belt only drives the air conditioner compressor, adjustment is completed with moderate tension so as not to overload. It was easy to finish, so I tried “Isn’t it cheaper to replace only the bearins?” From the result, it seems that it is impossible to use hand-held tools. The board was thin, and it was probably baked in, […]
At the time of vehicle inspection, it was pointed out that the power steering belt may be loose and worn, so I checked it. Loosen two fixing bolts to move the power steering pump. First, align the hole of the pulley on the back side of the pulley with the bolt, and insert a 14 mm box wrench. The radiator shroud is an obstacle, but if you press it, it will dent, so I will manage to thrust it. The second can be reached by pushing the box wrench from the bottom of the pulley and from the side. If you loosen the two fixing bolts, the pump will be free, so you can adjust by moving the adjust bolts indicated by the blue arrows. I think it was loosened by turning left and tensioned by turning right. It was easier than I expected, so I took off the belt and inspected it carefully. The ridges of the belt seem to be slightly worn, but there are no cracks at all, so I will reuse it. I would like to change it to a reinforced product such as HKS, but since it can be easily replaced, I will not waste […]
The bare type air cleaner has the problem of sucking hot air. I thought that I wouldn’t mind if I was running with a duct for guiding the wind. However, looking at the ECU data and logs, it was found that even during high-speed cruising, air with an outside temperature of + 20 to 25 ° C was inhaled. In the intake air temperature correction, when the temperature rises by 20 ° C, the fuel is thinned by about 4%, so it cannot be overlooked because the loss is -4 horsepower at 100 horsepower and -24 horsepower at 600 horsepower. When I investigated why breathing hot air, the wind that hit the engine was heated by the fan and diverted to the side, hitting the air cleaner directly. As a countermeasure, we will make a heat shield. Mold with thick paper. I had a sheet metal shop in my neighborhood make it. Aluminum, which is easy to process, is good for DIY, but since it can be cut by a machine, I asked him to make it with a stainless steel plate. I made some adjustments and did some processing myself, but stainless steel is hard to scrape anyway! Aluminum […]
