I took off the right engine mount and got it from the top. My knees and my back just can’t take it anymore.

I can't get the uppers out. There's only about 1/4" clearance on mine...

Um... That's not the idler pulley it's the water pump drive wheel.... The Tensioner (and idler pulley) is attached to the Alternator up front.

[@OlivierLopezCh]

Correct, this is a Drive Belt Tensioner, the video description is wrong

[@edison_a637]

what he took out was the idler pulley.yes he also took out the water pump wheel but I had to order this part and replace it on my own mini and its the idler pulley or also referred to as the friction wheel. so no, the vide is not incorrect
