Guest pharmed Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 You may get belt squeal or it may just fall off suddenly. Up to you I'd change it for peace of mind since its cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanC Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I just recently ordered one, came a few days ago, will be fitting this week! I would've gone OEM but even the Toyota dealer told me I'd cry when he told me the price... (it was £380 iirc) and as far as I can see this looks near identical to OEM minus the indentations (3 vs 2). Will see how we get on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I got one a month ago I'm yet to fit but I contacted Febest and they DO balance all of these pulleys I think people are confused about the balancing indentations each pulley will be slightly different. My Toyota unit has 5 indentations and this Febest one has 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_ufo Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I doubt the bolt was at fault the pulley itself came apart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 looks like somebody was naughty and reused the old crank pulley bolt on that video Naz They are re-usable, and not a stretch (torque to yield) bolt. In general engineering terms they are not stressed much at all. Unless one was damaged by having to heat it up, or the hex was showing distress I would be happy re-using them many times.
