Re: a/c pulley bearings bad design



There are 2 reasons why you would blow out the bearings prematurely. 
Don't use the ones made in China and don't overtighten the belt. It is 
really easy to overtighten and not realize it. If it slips it is too 
loose but don't tighten much more than that! For the technicaly 
correct procedure refer to N:08:13 step 6. If you install a new belt 
it should be a little tighter and rechecked in about a week as new 
belts strech a lot when first installed. The bearings can be obtained 
at any large power transmission parts supply. Bring the old ones and 
match them up. They are about $2.00 apiece for someone off the street, 
over the counter cash sales. In LARGE quantities they are probably 
less than a buck each for the GOOD ones.
