I'm trying to track down a current part number for the BX 16V altenator belt tensioner, which is an offset pulley that bolts onto the bottom of the alternator tension bracket.
I have two part numbers which both seem to be discontinued: SKF VKM 33001 and VKM 363393B. The Cit/Pug number is 6453E0
Does anyone know of an alternative which is still in stock? Any help would be much appreciated!
Yes it's hard to see how it would come apart - it looks like the bearing is slotted into a deep groove in the pulley. Not sure how that would work but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get it out.
I did manage to find a similar part (Dayco 89044), which is slightly smaller (80mm instead of 85mm originally), and doesn't have the offset mounting hole. With a couple of washers to space it out it seems to work ok though..
