Newbie with important question?

Hi Diesel Guru's.
I was told to post this question here so I will do so. I am in a bind and I need to know what tool is needed to remove the "Idle Pulley" from my 93 F350? It is a right hand thread is it not? Any info would be very much appreciated

Thanks

Shepherd Taxi

Torx 50 normal RH thread rotation (lefty losey)....... the only one with a reversed LH thread is the 15mm pulley bolt on the tensioner.

Thanks Guru's for your help here. I used the torx 50 and she came out just fine. What I have found out in looking for the part is, do I need an outer lip on the "Idler Pulley". The one that blew almost looks like a pulley for a "V belt". Grant you it is very damaged.

I think that I can get away without it for that is what was on it from the factory according to the Ford people when they look up my vin number.

Thanks Again for the help,

Shepherd Taxi
