ehbontrager Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I have a 92 Legacy L 4 door sedan. It has 225K on it and it is still going strong. The issue that I have with it is that the ac tensioner pulley is really howling. I had taken it off last winter when I noticed the noise and just unplugged the compressor. Well It got hot here this past week and on Friday I put the belt back on it so I could use the air. It works great, but the pulley is still howling. I never bought the part at the part store because it was too expensive, but was wondering if I could press out the bearing and install a new one to save the money. The part store only wanted to sell me the entire assembly. The Pulley, the mount and the tensioning bolt and everything. It was like $115 or something ridiculous. Any help would be great.

Max Capacity Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Have you done a on line search for the part ? Talked with the guys at Fred Beans, or one of the other vendors on this site ? This took me about a minute to find. Just did a google search for 92 subaru ac tensioner pulley. http://www.google.com/#q=92+subaru+ac+tensioner&hl=en&prmd=imvnsfd&source=lnms&tbm=shop&ei=opC7T_ulHKPS0QWMjrnYBw&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=6&sqi=2&ved=0CJsBEPwFKAU&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=46408403dfa4aa87&biw=1009&bih=592&safe=active http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?catalog=147&partnum=49029&a=FR147-49029-410487 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Bdubs Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Where do you live? You can have mine. I took my A/C out a couple years ago and its still on my car, however I have no need for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brittcrowell Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I have the same problem with the bearing in my AC clutch pulley, looks like you can get one for $17/22 from AZ depending on the size. Anyone with experience in doing this job? Mine is a '93 but still has the R12 in it, at least that's what is says on the compressor. Britt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
