Squeeky Alternator Pulley

[NiteRydaGT]

How does one go about fixing a squeeky alternator pulley? I was told using WD-40 will only make it worse. Any alternatives? There's barely any room to shoot any kind of spray in there. Anyone had this problem and how did you fix it?

it's the tensioner pulley, you need a steel one, can be had for like $40

I agree. Its the idle tensioner assembly. Get a new one at strauss for like 45 bucks. I had the same problem and replaced my belt at the same time cause I had almost 90k miles on it. DO NOT got to your dealer. They will rip you off.

Sorry guys but I'm going to disagree and say it's definitely the alternator. I can hear the squeek when I spin the alt. pulley by hand. Tensioner pulley makes no noise.
Any other suggestions how to stop the squeeking?
