Re: a/c pulley bearings bad design

Walt and Group, Let me correct my self. 
#1. The Black seal bearing made in China are your standard run of the 
mill bearings. Who knows how long they will last.
#2. The EMQ Bearing ( Electrical Equiptment Quality ) This is the 
best, Made in Tiwan soon to be made in China, Best metal, Best grease 
and used in the alternators. You can normally tell them by the 
Orange,Blue or brown seal. Normally the brown seal is the extra wide 
bearing used in some limited applications. The color will vary by 
supplier. These do cost a little more and might be harder to find, 
but will last.
#3. An application of the black seal bearing is used as the pilot 
bearing in the clutch. This would be an application of limited usage 
compared to the treatment of the pulleys on the alternator or the 
idler puleys. 
I will get some of the bearings and put them on the site for you to 
purchase or exchange.
