I did the timing belt and tensioner on my mom's '97 Contour "Sport" a few weeks ago. I noticed that the bearings in the two lower idlers (especially the smaller one) were rough, so I went to my Ford dealer and got new ones. My question is, what size socket is used to take these off?? I've tried every size metric and SAE socket I have, it seems like it should be somewhere between 14-17mm, but none of them fit. Is this some kind of oddball Torx bolt or something?!?!
Thanks!
