That blower idler pulley is a horrible design. Mine was lose and I was able to have a machine shop put in a new bearing before it came apart.. Had to machine a new groove for the snap ring too.

Dealer said there has been 3-5 design changes on that part and the new pulley set was like 360.00!

Fred, it is getting more and more common. That pulley is known to fail.

I will PM you.

But then we'd be preventing someone from knowing the meaning of life.
