my caravan is making a whining noise from the motor and i got a hose to hear and check the pulleys and im pretty sure it was the idler pulley how do i change it ? and i think its just the bolt holding the pulley and just swap the pulley with a new one
Yes, it is just a bolt that holds the pulley in place. I assume you know how to take the belt off to get to the pulley easier, then remove the bolt to that pulley, and reverse order to put it all back together.

4A-GZE weird noise from idler pulleys
my freshly converted 4A-GZE AW11 making a strange noise from a suspected idler bearing up front
Volvo 850 Serp. Belt Noise?
Mechanical chattering noise from serpentine belt area. Worse when warm. Much louder with A/C on. Idler pulley, Tensioner problem or A/C compressor ...
e*thirteen SRS+ Chain Retention System Review
2010 is truly a year for outstanding components. e*thirteen has come up with a good one for those of you who love pointing that rig of yours down a slope. The folks at e*thirteen seem to have a philosophy that says “don’t stop till it’s perfect - then make it better” and the SRS+ chain retention device is evidence. e*thirteen produces an array of specific chain retention devices including the XCX, the first chain retention device for XC riders wanting to run 1 x 9.
At 195 grams, the e*thirteen SRS+ is probably the lightest solution for your FR or DH rig running a typical 1 x 9 configuration. This premium chain guide is designed for World Cup downhill / 4X / park and freeriders. The kit comes with everything you need minus the chain ring bolts and depending on your setup you may need longer bolts due to the extra thickness of the Turbocharger bashring (included).
The SRS+ features an improved back plate with a 3-position adjustable Tech 3 Stealth pulley which accommodates bikes of different chain stay lengths and designs. e*thirteen redesigned the Bolt-and-Go top wear plate and you can get this with or without the ISCG 05 adapter plate. The SRS+ comes in black or white plus limited-production colors like red - but hurry because the special colors tend to go quickly. Keep in mind when ordering to get the correct size for your application: either the 32-36T or the 36-40T version. If this is a bit daunting for you, you could always check out the e*thirteen website and their awesome GuidePicker 2.0 .
Most people should be able to install the SRS+ correctly using the included instructions. The job will typically take about 30 minutes and requires a 4,5,6mm Allen key, a crank extractor (depending on cranks), and two beers. You will need to remove the cranks at least once during this operation to get the back plate in position (if you have the tabs), otherwise along with the crank you will need to remove the crank-side bottom bracket cup and one spacer (replaced when the adapter plate is installed). The most critical point of the installation is to get the correct spacing of the guide plate with the shims (in the form of varying thickness washers). The stealth pulley needs to be perfectly aligned with the chain ring for maximum performance and minimum noise.
