Idler Pulley Bearings...

[Meaux]

94 Q45, 86Kmi.,

Need 3 Idler Pulley Bearings... 1 for sure... Pulled all 3 pulleys today, and "Freed up" the water pump idler... It wasn't moving at all...

Did a "search" but didn't see an answer of any sucessfull bearing replacements, other than "TEXOIL has em'"... Are they PEENED in and don't press out? Whats the Verdict?

Still have em' for sale TEXOIL?

I think $80 for ONE idler is a little bit much...

Any Nissan Replacements?

Thanks...

EDIT... I have 2 new Radius Rod Bushings... TEZUKA 54476-35F20... These are the smaller ones... for possible trade? I don't need em'...My car took the larger ones...

Yes, but I was afraid you may not.

I've got a box full of idler pulleys from the partout of 3 Q's. All but one of the pulley bearings was grinding or frozen so I set out on a quest a couple of weeks ago to find replacement bearings. I placed my order today.

The bearings are available through a national distributor, Motion Industries. They have sales offices throughout the US and Canada. I walked in to the shop in Sacramento today and ordered a set of 4 bearings for $11.50/ea. (See the pic- the PS pulley has 2 bearings) I got a nice discount by mentioning my employer but they are also available online for $15/ea through MotionIndustries.com. I'm sure you'll have to pay shipping on top of that. Check their website for the branch nearest you.

The part # is 6301LLU C3 BRG. It is the OEM bearing manufactured by NTN in Japan. The bearing is a contact type with double seals. You can search the NTN website, using P/N 6301LU, and see the spec sheet listing all the dimensions. I did try to get these through Napa Auto Parts but the parts guy couldn't find it in any catalogue. If you found someone knowledgeable I'm sure they could locate it.

Are they PEENED in and don't press out? Whats the Verdict?

I had one of our best mechanics at work look at it to determine how to remove the bearing and after a lot of inspection with a magnifying glass it came out easily with a hydraulic press. It doesn't look any different than any other bearing I've worked with so I don't know why you couldn't carefully tap it in with hand tools if the press wasn't available.

I keep at least 6 in stock, sell sets of 4 delivered for $25. I buy the ultra-high spped ones (20,000RPM) made by the same factory that makes ultra-quiet bearings for N submarines.

do all 3 pullys take the same bearing size? why do you sell in sets of 4,dont we only need 3? help me grasp this as I am close to buying 3 new pullys from infiniti

Your answer is on Gooody's post, above: The PS idler uses two bearings

[cccpman]

the ones from texasoil are great! Not expensive at all, and VERY high quality. I would take them hands down, finally a product I believe that is higher quality then OEM (time will tell)
