Insert an 8mm thread screw and use that to extract.
Has threaded hole...will be pushed out by this!
All the best!

Ahh..and btw...is in the oil pump..not block.. be carefull...as that is aluminum..

**stocious** · 7 March 2013, 15:09

Ah, i see now! Good man !!

**Pirvu Eugen** · 7 March 2013, 15:13

Sorry man..is 10mm thread..not 8...
Sory for this!

Sometimes gently tappping the roller with a hammer as you wind the bolt in helps it on its way.

I will give it a go later, raining and foggy in my garage at the moment

The idler that's on grumbles like its in there along time

Cheers for the tips guys

When you install the new one...Dont use the screw to push the roller into place...be sure is in complete untill tightening the screw. Iff you dont take care at this..the new roller can go in wrong and can push the timing belt sideways.
Regards!

Just in case people can't picture what you are saying:

yup they dont like to come out easily these but tapping them does help. I'm sure i have one in the garage if you want a shot of the rear on its own

IIRC I used a small pry bar to pop mine off with a piece of wood to protect the oil pump

I'm sure it will need a little attitude adjustment along side the bolt method, looks and grumbles like its seen a belt or three!
