Locate the idler pulley to the
left of the crankshaft pulley. The idler pulley bolts to the idler arm.
The idler pulley is replaced with the arm because they are sold as one
unit.
2
Place a 3/8-inch ratchet driver
into the square hole on the face of the idler pulley and pull up on the
handle. This releases tension on the Sonoma's serpentine belt. Pull the
belt off the idler pulley, lower and remove the ratchet handle.
3
Remove the two bolts that secure the idler arm to the engine block using a socket and ratchet, and discard the old idler arm.
4
Place the new idler arm against the engine block and secure it using the socket and ratchet.
5
Put the ratchet driver into the
square hole on the new idler pulley, pull up on the handle and place the
serpentine belt over the pulley.
6
Lower and remove the ratchet handle.
