[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 10602, member: 782"] Ya know , I am not sure if it was mentioned to you any where till Ken's post brought it mind that there are two seals in that blower box , and the horizonal seal is the one that seems to leak the most , and like said that one can be changed without removing the blower box on some models , if you polish the exposed section of the input shaft with some emery paper before trying to move the pulley over it to get it off it can make things alot easier -----on the grease in place of oil topic I have had good furtunes with noisey drive belt idler pulley on the side ways drive trains , the bearings I found are very lighty oiled and after time you can hear them rumbling and on the way out , it has two opposing cone bearings in it , to not have to disassemble I take a hyperdermic looking grease gun needle and stick it though the spaces in between the rollers of the bearings and pump it full of moly grease, have never seen one that was greased fail yet , those idlers are pretty high priced in the $400 range , they don't offer bearings for it but I have replaced the bearings , sometimes the pulley gets a groove cut into it from the belt and a spin on the lathe smooths that out nicely during a rebuild ------------------I had thought of in the past as how truck and trailer axle manufactures have some identical set ups using both grease or oil in their wheel bearings . works boths ways , always liked grease better on wheel bearings , oil is easier to visually see the conditon , level and to replentish the oil when low but when it starts to leak you need to do a seal job , the grease takes alot more to mak it leak [/QUOTE]
