[QUOTE="caveeagle, post: 13144563, member: 128063"] I would agree with you, accept its soo freakin' involved to get to the inner belt idlers. I hope to avoid this for a long time. I just ordered a set of 9 (1-extra) Nachi 6203NSE bearings that I ordered from VXB.com for only $4.88 ea. From several accounts, these are about the best replacements available. I think these are the same bearings that come on the metco idlers. I found it very easy to pop one of the old bearings out with my HF bearing driver kit. I have been wanting to buy a small press anyway, so this just might be my excuse to go pick up the small HF bench-top press for ~$50. Or I might just freeze the bearings and warm up the pulleys and tap them in place with the drivers i have. That just sounds stupid. Can you point me to an example of where a stock-to-mild cobra had their idler pulleys spontantiously EXPLODE? I mean really!... Literally millions of cars are out there on the road pushing +100k miles with steel idler pulleys, and I have not heard of rampant pulley explosions. And, its around $175- $275 for a set of 4 pulleys. So to replace all 8 and add an aux tensioner would be $500 to $900. That would be just stupid on completely stock Terminator. Even IF I was going to go spend $500 on some upgrade, that would not be the first place I would start. In that price range, I would start with either a cat-back, or an upper pulley and a custom tune. Whatever. [/QUOTE]
