My idler pulley went to poop

Well driving home from the store, I heard a awful noise coming from under the hood. So I decided I'd take the cam with me to diagnose it. Enjoy

Just throw some grease in that bearing and your good to go Jim.. :D

I'm hoping SOMEONE local will take pitty on a poor ol broke man, and let me score one off a parts jeep.

[Weldmen]

Are they lots of money? I never looked.

[bigjim350]

Nah, they are only bout $20 bucks. But im a cheap a$$

[Weldmen]

Nice. Im a cheep ****er too. Maybe I should pick one up as a spare just in case..

I don't even think they cost that much. Cheap insurance, keep one with you.

Great video Jim, but I have to admit I kept thinking "Don't drop me!" :shocker: :smiley-scared002:

Mine sounding like this and I replaced bearing, number is 6203; size 40x17x12 mm. :D Thread on bracket was damaged almost 2/3 and I used bit longer bolt instead of old one. I'm afraid soon it needs rethreading or drilling all the way on bracket :(

About a week after i bought my XJ i noticed a noise under the hood and when i looked my idler pulley bearing was pretty much gone :shocker: cheap fix though :thumbsup:

[Punisher]

be nice to your jeep an go out an buy a new one buddy... i did for mine for $21.99

[bigjim350]

Nope, I stuck with being a cheap a$$. I went over to Matt's shop and dug around and found a idler pulley off a Chevy vortec motor. With a little bit of redneck engineering, its on and working great. Thanks for the part Matt.
