Hey, new and first post. Have a 1984 SR5 Extra cab, 4wd, with 22r engine. 291,000 miles.Air conditioning pulley making a little noise so started looking for one. Only luck so,far is in Australia . Not available from Toyota so,said the dealer. Have any of you guys had better luck? As I get into the forum more I will post some pics and more stories about my truck. Thanks in advance for any info.

 

Isn't it possible to change the bearing in these?? It is a common bearing if I recall correctly.

 

Are you talking about the a/c tension pulley or the pulley on the compressor?

 

Should have been more specific....yes it is the tension pulley. And as far as changing the bearing, it's actually a double bearing and is staked in the pulley. I thought about,changing but looks to be a precision press in and stake in 4 spots. I just don't have the tools for that. The pulley has a 15mm hole. I can find plenty of pulleys with the 12 mm hole but only one with the larger one. And as I said, it's in Austraila.

 

I found this on Ebay:

Might be similar ones cheaper

 

I was irritated by the way Toyota used a staked bearing pulley as well. I found a replacement from 22reperformance. It was $30 or so. Just give them a call and they'll be able to help you.

 

x2

22RE Performance sells them. The description says that the pulley fits all 22R/22RE engines but I would give them a call just to be sure.

They are in the process of upgrading there website but here's the link: https://www.yotatruckparts.com/22re-...djuster-pulley
Note: They are not shipping any parts next week (see banner at top of website).

 

Thanks GSP. Will investigate that. Millball, that bearing appears to be one of the 12mm shaft style. And is different from the original. But thanks for looking .

 

Thanks Old87, it appears that I will need to replace the complete Assy. And not just the pulley. Will call these guys this week.

 

I got one for my 85 4 runner from rockauto. Looks like original.

 

I have a tensioner pulley assembly I took off my 87. I don't know if it would work. It came off the lower right side by the motor mount. May work if interested in it.

 

If anyone needs AC parts text me at 9894225142. I took it all off my 87 pickup because I live where it is not needed but maybe a week a year.... Willing to sell or swap any or all for something I can use.....

 

Ok...........just ordered the pulley from 22RE...........will see how it works out...........Thanks for the help guys...........

 

Had a chance to put on the new pulley from 22RE..........works great and now I have air again........good timing too........
Haven't had a lot of time to view a lot of this forum but so far........there seems to be a great group of guys here and some very smart ones too..........rebuilds, etc gets pretty deep..........good to know where to come for info.................thanks again for the leads.........as I looked at the pulley in Australia again and the freight was over $40....no go on that one for sure...........David
