I have a NG 900 2.3i, and one of the idler puller's disintegrated today while I was driving it. I won't have a quote on the repair until Monday. Is this an easy thing to replace myself after it's failed, or should I leave that in the hands of a (considerably moreso than myself) skilled mechanic? I bet that the drive belt should be replaced too, in addition to the pulleys. Is there an aftermarket replacement pulley that's more durable than the OEM? -- agreenbu Return to Main Index
