hey all,
i have had a squeaky idler pulley off and on for a while and it used to be quiet for a month or two and then squeal until i sprayed some lube on it, but then it got to squealing almost all the time and its annoying as crap.
i replaced the idler pulley the other day for $18 and it came with the pulley and a sealed bearing, the whole unit, so i swapped them.
the thing squeals sometimes still. i know it is the idler pulley because it will shut up if i spray it with WD40, but only for about 50 miles or so.
is it possible that i tightened the belt too much, or what else could cause this screamin demon?
