Idler Pulley: Testing and Inspection
Examine The Pulleys For The Following:
^
Chips
^
Nicks
^
Tool marks
^
Cracks
^
Bent sidewalls
^
Corrosion
The following procedure checks for a bent pulley:
1. Place a straightedge or pull a cord taut, across the two pulleys, so that it touches at all points.
2. Turn each pulley one-half revolution.
3. Recheck with the straightedge or the cord. Full contact must be made at all points. If not, the pulley is warped or the shaft is bent. Replace any
damaged parts.
4. If the belt loosens, squeals, or comes off the engine drive pulleys, inspect Drive Belt.
