can an idler pulley totally fall off ? 2001 galant 3.0 24v belt fell off and when replaced it is very loose and seems a pulley is missing or something hard to believe it would fall off being factory installed..diagram for 3.0 shows one there though
thx

Anythings possible! If it shows there was one before, buy a new one along with mounting bolt(s) and loctite thm in place.

Look for the retaining bolt still being there. It is more common for the pulley bearing to freeze up causing the pulley to fly off but the bolt will still be there.

is there a bracket for the idler pulley or does it attached with only a bolt?

It will have a single bolt through the middle, assuming you aren't talking about a tensioner instead.
