Does anyone have pictures of the pulley assembly? When I took it off 2 bosses and a big curved washer fell out. I've put it back together twice and it's still not right. I sound like dork but I don't want to crawl under the car for a to many more times
Thanks

Is this the idler pulley that's next to the alternator? I don't quite remember seeing a curved washer when I took out mine while replacing the drive belt.

 

Its the one thats below and aft of the alt. If I can figure out how to post a pic of the pulley and parts so you have a better idea of what I'm talking about.

 

Take the picture and upload it to a free Photobucket acct. Once uploaded to Photobucket, copy/paste the IMG code into the body of your post. That easy.

 

 

What year Fit? Is this what you are looking for?

 

Yup, that's the one I'm looking for. Mine is a 2008 GE sport. I put it together without that big ass washer and so far so good. Thanks for all the info.

On second thought, maybe I should put #14 on. What does that washer do?

Another thing I found out the hard way, you have to loosen that bottom bolt on the alt. 6" ext and a shallow socket worked for me.

 

I tried that but I just had the IMG with a red X instead of the pic. Let me try again

Ok, I used photobucket and this is what I posted, what am I doing wrong?

 

Under the picture in photobucket, you will see "direct link" and a few others. If you just click on the IMG code, it will automatically copy. Just paste it over here.

I know this is a old thread, but i had the same problem. I bought a Gates idler pulley and after installed, the pulley doesn't spin freely. After some research, i found out the Gates pulley and the OEM one is a little different, the dust shield (the big ass washer as running call it item #14 on the picture) doesn't fit onto the Gates pulley, so i added a little spacer between the shield(#14) and the bearing spacer(#12), and everything works perfect.

I hope this helps everyone else who's having the same problem.
