Idler pulley 2005 TJ

[Jules_tj_atx]

I'm replacing the upper and lower pulleys but of course the bearing inside doesn't come with the item through a parts store and dealer doesn't have them in stock. In fact there's only one pulley in Texas per them.

My question is, since the bearing is used to keep the pulley from wobbling and the squealing noise is just so unbearable especially now that the foots and top are off, is there a fitting I can fashion from a pipe or something?

Thoughts?

Thanks!!

Not that i know of. You need to get the right bearing.

Thoughts; you're getting lied to or screwed with...every idler pulley I've bought has the bearing pressed in. I'm talking even the $12 auto zone stuff.

I agree. Every one I've bought has already had the bearing pressed in. Even the cheapo's.
