Timing Belt Pulley Details

Gates PowerGrip idler pulleys are offered as fixed idlers or as replacements for a tensioner bracket, depending on the application. The T41232 follows that product-line approach with a smooth running surface and steel construction for use in timing belt systems where precise belt tracking matters. This part cross-references Cloyes 9-5509 for the same application. The Gates T41232 is used on a wide range of Honda and Acura engines, including Acura MDX, Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot, Honda Ridgeline, and Honda Accord applications listed below.

What This Part Helps Address

• Timing belt noise from a worn idler pulley
• Belt tracking issues caused by pulley wear
• Rough or uneven pulley rotation in the timing drive
• Service replacement for interference-engine timing maintenance
• Wear-related vibration in the belt path

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley dimensions, belt routing, and engine code before installation. Because this part is used in interference-engine applications, timing marks should be aligned carefully and the full timing system inspected during service. Replace worn belts, tensioners, and related idlers as needed to maintain proper belt tracking.
