Great video, thanks. I've been noticing a whining noise from the engine compartment for a few months on my '07....got my stethoscope out today and narrowed it down to the idler (about blew out my eardrums when I found the problem). I'm going to use your links to get the Timken. I'm lazy and never want to change it out again...ha
Japan made Koyo 6302 RMX are the OEM bearings in my 2012 Toyota Tacoma idler pulleys. Good video but I wouldn't use Chinese made junk unless you want to be replacing them frequently.
Just replaced the tensioner idler and one other on my 2.7 Tacoma but my 2005 with 150,000 had all Koyo bearings made in Japan good quality bearing replaced them with the same
The Amazon links for the bearings in the description were a different size than my OEM bearings. I have a 2011 Tacoma, V6, same everything -- same blue paint even -- and my OEM bearings were slightly larger than what came from Amazon. Both #2 idler pulleys, same thing -- different size. I don't think the Amazon products were wrong, but instead I think my engine's OEM idler pulleys are different than yours.
