3200 timing belt bearing

[Bilko]

planning ahead into the new year and just wondering why on the timing belt kit( EuroSpares ) there are 2 bearings?... Please forgive my ignorance if this is obvious to you guys ...looking at diagram I see use for 1 only ...?

There is two,one for the tensioner and one pully,while your in there check the water pump,if theres any play It's in the bin!

If you buy a new water pump, check it before installing.
There is a faulty batch being sold. You will notice it by rotating the pulley 360 degrees and feeling if it gets stiff

You will need an hydraulic press to separate the pulleys from the bearings.

Thanks for the info guys ...especially the pic ..all clear now. Ill definitely check the water pump as you say ,makes sense to do so while we're in there .
