Problem installing new idler pulley
I bought a replacement idler pulley from napa but had a problem installing it using the existing front and back plates ... the dome on the front of the pulley was different, and front plate didn't fit correctly. I managed to screw up the back plate putting the original back one back on.

I was using the tutorial at install university, the GM part number crossed referenced to the part I got so I believe it's the correct one.
I wonder now if the front and back plates are needed? I notice on the box for the new pulley it says:
"The bearing in this product is greased and sealed and therefore does not require the dust cover that m ay be used on the original pulley. Check for interference before reusing the original dust cover".
What do you think?

Re: Problem installing new idler pulley
Just an update ... the guy at the parts store said it doesn't use the dust plate, but when I tried it without the rear plate it doesn't line up right ... and of course my rear plate is bad so I had to order a new pulley from GM to get the plates, they don't sell them seperately.
