[DML] Re: AC compressor whining

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Replacing the 2 idler pulley bearings is not a difficult job. Just
make sure to note the orientation of all the brackets, bolts, washers,
and cover. You really have to put it back together EXACTLY as it comes
apart. They should be replaced anyway, they are probably 20 years old.
If you still have the noise and the belt is good then you can assume
the A/C bearing is bad. To confirm I use a squirt bottle with water.
Spray it on the belt, if the noise goes away you have a bad pulley or
belt. Spray some WD-40 into the bearing (it isn't easy). If the noise
goes away now then you have confirmed the bearing is bad.
