Subject: Re: How to get the idle pulley off


I removed the wheel and associated plastic covers. The cover exposed the cam pulley but not the idle pulley I'm after. The pulley I'm looking at is directly above the cam pulley. I've got about 20mm clearance b/t the torx bolt and the frame. About all I can think of is to get a set of torx bits and hope to a 1/4 wrench or possibly vice grips on the bit from above. I'm not sure what SAAB was thinking when they put this one together.
