Guest wally888 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Car has slight engine noise that appears to be coming from serpentine belt tensioner (I like using a foot or two of vacuum hose to listen, probably not the greatest). Removed belt and spun pully. Not binding but I can hear bearings. It rotates a few times after manual spin but does a good one spin more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2seater Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 They probably actually spin more when getting worn or dry. I have had sucess taking the seals out of the sides of the bearings and repacking it with a small amount of bearing grease. If it is not sloppy you can remove and reinstall the seals after adding a small amount, not packed full. I know I am a cheapskate, but I have done this on more that one make of vehicle.

Guest wally888 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 If it were dragging or making noise wouldn't it feel hotter to the touch than other pulleys? Any other way to determine if it needs replacement. Can find nothing in FSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
