Thank you for the video. I did mine today. I found the tensioner pulley to need an H8 allen, instead of a 10.

You're correct about the bit being a H8, thanks, I made a mistake on the size I mentioned in the video.

I need to do this exact job on my '13 outback. You've probably saved me hundreds in labor costs. Thanks for posting!

You're quite welcome Connor.

KZread is nice enough to pop up a link to a separate video right over the part numbers for the idler pulley. Nice.

Thanks for the compliments on my video Travis, I hate to search on KZread only to find videos that skips out half the info, so I try to include as much as I can in what I post..

Great video - easy instructions and very clear camera work. Thanks

Much thanks, I appreciate the compliments on the video..

I thought the grinding/whirring sound I was hearing was my transmission going out, which I'm sure a shop would've "confirmed" as the problem if I had mentioned it. No. It was the two idler pulleys you showed how to replace. And the sound is now gone. Saved me hundreds if not thousands or a new car. Many thanks to you.🙏

Thank you! Pretty sure I've used your videos before for other repairs, so about time I commented lol. You're video is saving this newbie hundreds for a simple fix. I'd rather prefer to learn how to do any and all repairs within reason whenever possible, so it's greatly appreciated. 🫶🏻

You're quite welcome , I truly appreciate you taking the time to drop a few lines, and yes that is the exact idea behind my channel, these shops get us every way they can..

Thanks for creating this video, your demo made the job a piece of cake when it was my turn. One minor detail--I was wondering why my 10mm hex wasn't working to get the tensioner bolt out, so I ended up pulling it with a T50. Once I had it out I discovered that a T50 corresponds to an 8mm hex. So close to justifying a new socket or 5, but alas I already had both a T50 and 8mm on hand. Maybe next time.

no worries Nick, thanks for the correction..

Is one of the pulleys on the water pump?

Do you have to add any lubricant to the center of the idler pulley? Like on the area where the pulley itself sits on the metal?

@thediyyardie7192

there's something called anti-seize liquid, that's good to use for that purpose.

Just wonder why or when you also need to change the tensioner and idler pulley. Thx

@hn ng, when the bearings in the pulley's become worn and dry it will make a high pitched shelly sound while the engine is running, I usually change all pulleys including tensioner once that happens, reason being, once one goes the others are close behind..

Do you need 2 idler pulley of the same part no right?

hey John, I've been fixing my own cars since a teenager, so for certain repairs I am able do by feel, cylinder heads, valve cover and a few other things I will use a torque wrench, this video is to show how I went about doing this repair, but you're welcome to research that info and use a torque wrench per your satisfaction, and you're welcome to post that info here also once you've found it, in the event anyone else may maybe seeking it..

Per the Subaru manual 26.6 ft-lbs (36Nm) for the idler and 18.4 ft-lbs (25Nm) for the tensioner.

No, the water pump on this car is driven by the timing belt, there are three pulleys in all, two idlers and the tensioner.
