Hi all,

I am currently replacing my AC hydraulic tensioner and pulley. M52TUB28

However, there is a metal bush on the old one that isn’t on the new SKF one. I have a press that I could press it out with and then press it into the new one.
Is this normal to have to do this?
And am I correct in assuming the plastic bits on the new one stay in place?
