1.9D DW8: Replacing the aux belt idler pulley. Easy job?
Got a noisy and sticky idler pulley - the one at the top between the PAS pump and the crank. Needs replacing, and quicker if I can do it myself.
Is it just a case of taking a 16mm spanner to it and turning it anticlockwise? I've had a quick go and it's pretty well stuck on, but then it would be after 19 years.
Unless I'm missing something?

Experimenting on a scrap van tells me the answer is yes. Got a good long spanner on it and off it came. Replaced the pulley and now all is well again

Yea pretty much that. Came in at ~1700rpm and again at ~2700rpm.
Mine has two of these idler pulleys, one at the top and one at the bottom. I have a manual tensioner though, which seems unusual.
I saw a lot of grease coming out of it, and inspecting it with an allen key I could physically feel the ball bearings. When I removed it I saw why, all the bearings were exposed.
You could try taking the belt off and rotating it by hand. It should turn smoothly, although it won't freewheel if you flick it.
