    Hello, I am changing my belt on my 2000 GTP supercharger, I get the belt on no problem,start the motor and smoke coming from the belt, started looking and it appears the smallest pulley towards the front isn't spinning. I pulled it off and it looks like it has bearings in it, I am assuming it has gone bad. I was wondering what this is called so I can hopefully go pick one up from the parts store? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

    Does it have groves in it or is a smooth pulley?

    Thats pretty much all you'll have to tell the parts counter, they can look it up to get the correct number aswell.

    It is smooth...it has a couple lines Where it was rubbing on it from the belt, but that is what tells me it's not spinning...

    Maybe it was like my car when I bought it. The pulley seized up on the PO and they drove it with no SC belt LOL.

    Alright guys this is how stupid I have been today. Evidently when my old belt went bad and broke it was cause my idler pulley #8 broke, it was down to just the center bearing piece, me not knowing about the pulleys didn't realize this until I saw the new pulley, I feel really stupid here, but you guys have been awesome help to this newbie :-). Thanks
