Bearing Replacement

I know this has been talked about on this site 100 or so times but I still have to ask. Has any one found a replacement bearing inside the idler for the pulley for the alternator and ac belt? Just the bearing not the hole unit

THANKS FRED

If your referring to the idler pulley on the serp belt, yes. I have the bearing.
I use a SKF bearing filled with Krytox grease. This grease out performs standard hydrocarbon grease by 400˚F and triple the load bearing. grease bonds to surfaces to protect them and the bearing should last for about 5 years or more without needing a re-pack.
Bearing alone with Grease: $79
re-packs -$17.00

I have had great success with the grease in all my idler pulleys I have packed for the 164 and other vehicles.
I guarantee the bearing will not fail. If it does in the first year I will replace it. I still may depending on the problem after the 1st year.
