Hi CK I seen that but it's just a plan idler pulley I can pick that up locally for 12$ , I didn't know how important that Ridge ,Raised edge was don't need the belt flying off.
Going to try and push the old bearing out ,if it's not rusted into place it should give...

it's the same size , dimension as the tensioner pulley but with that raised end...

 

Ok it's out.. No vise No press, a socket and a piece of wood...

ok ok i did use my fat *** to step on it. Came out pretty easily. It's a 17×40×12
Thanks guys.

 

Yeah, like I said, it comes out fairly easy...goes in just as well.

 

It's been my experience that nothing I mean nothing in a car around here comes apart that easy....

 

I expected mine to be a fight and gave my socket a good whack with the 4lb maul and almost put it through the garage floor.

 

That's what we get for assuming something is well made..lol

Looking for replacement bearing now. SKF use to be be my go to bearing brand but now they seen just as good and any Chinese pos out there...

 

I gave you a link on Amazon in that link a few posts back.

 

Yo HH..
I got that link those were a different size from what I have..
Maybe because you have a super charge model? I found a set made in Japan. . So it saids...
Thank you

 

Ahhh, ok, ...it was probably my SC belt pulley then. Good you found it.

 

Good evening guys .
Have either of you changed your own transmission filter? If so who's filter did you use?

thanks..

 

Yes, but mines a 722.6 trans, yours is a 5HP...I got mine off ebay as a kit with German Febi fluid, filter and new seal.

 

I had my local, very expert and long-time-trusted transmission shop, do a transmission fluid and filter change when they installed the Transgo pressure relief valve on my car two years ago. At my insistence they did a follow up full change of fluid a year later. Everything has been fine since.

 

Use the febi filter with valvoline maxlife fluid.

 

Thanks guys .
looking for the filter now..

 

xalty.
Did you add the Valvoline fluid with what was already in the transmission?

 

Yes it works with basically anything.

 

Thanks. Xalty
I read that in a few other places , some people have been using it with no problems I'll wait and see how bad my fluid is before doing anything if It's not black mud I just may replace it with what's recommended.

thanks again.

 

Hello guys Hope Everyone is staying safe..
No licking shopping cart handles!

Question how typical is it for these lug nut to rust away to almost nothing, no threads or half the thread gone?
it took 2 days to get all 4 wheels off I have 9 lugs that are shot they just spun, I had to use a scissor jack and a length of 2 by 4 to put pressure on the wheels while I unscrewed the lugs. Plus hammer a socket onto most of the lugs because some JO must of used the wrong socket...Studs seems ok.... grrrr. Never ending fun with this project.

 

Never heard of them rusting away. Sounds like someone used an impact on them. Should only be 75 ft lbs torque.
