when you say idler, Do you mean the one on the fan belts. If so i just pulled mine out went to bearing place and payed a few $$ and got a new one. They are usually sealed units

Hope it helps

Mine didnt have a clip, etc. Its just pressed in there. Just wack it out with a drift and hammer. Maybe some wd40 first. Easy as. If you have more than one. Do them all whilst your there


have fun
