Sorry Dick, at the time I hadn't seen your response! I too am speculating, for all I know F__d did have a better idea and use an idler with a replacable bearing! As far as Ma Mopar's version of the pully goes, I think somebody tried what you suggest since there aare a couple of randomly spaced holes in my pully but it's still solid. After soaking it overnight, I repeatedly took a can of aerosol carburetor cleaner to it and then spun it with my wire wheel. After an evening in front of the TV with a can of heavy grease I wound up with a sore thumb and a greased pully! (Yep, I live alone!)

OK, Roy you are probably right. But you can always drill out spot welds and
replace the bearing, then spot weld them back together, or do it with small
bolts and nuts (use lock-tite!). Maybe it would be easier to replace the
whole assembly though, in this case - I sit corrected!
