Can't find the idler pulley bolt that I need to loose before loosing the adjusting bolt. There is no bolt on the pulley, only a rounded head in the middle.

I need to remove the drive belt connected to the compressor


Thanks

Check the back of it, If I remember correctly the nut is on the back of the pulley assembly, then you will be able to use the tensioning bolt to loosen and replace the belt

Thank you for your reply. I just got back from out of town.

There is nothing behind the pulley assembly that I can turn, except for the adjustment bolt.

On the front side in the middle of the pulley, there is a flat circular end, not a bolt that I can turn.

I tried to take a picture for you but can't get a good shot due to tight space.

Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks

There has to be something holding the pulley. See if possibly the flat front piece is a cover for a bolt. Also make sure that isnt an idler pulley. And the accessory is what moves, but im pretty sure the pulley is the tensioner
