kidjc Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Anyone happen to know off hand the size, dimensions, stock # of the bearing for an idler pulley 88'-89'? I know I had a bad (1) somewhere in this house... I just can't seem to lay my hands on it, or recall where I put it, (so I wouldn't forget where it was?). Thanx, appreciate any help, as I have another pulley in need of replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw458 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It's a torrington bearing # 203PP. Should be around $5 at your local bearing shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 go to napa 12 bucks .. its a name brand bearing ... take old one and they can match it up....... I hate Napa, but if you must and don't have good mom and pop parts joints. That bearing should be cheap, like Jeff said $5.00 somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markhansenconquest Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) do u know that are 15 grades of bearings ^^^^ just like auto zone ALTS no good u cant see it but A/zone uses the cheapest rebuielders they can find......

mopar jon Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 If it is a 203 bearing you can also use the 203ff, or 203ss, as they are sealed on both sides to keep dirt and grime out. Since i work at one of the big box crappy auto parts stores, i will also tell you not to use the china garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidjc Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Thanx to all who posted, appreciate it! I didn't want to go to the usual parts places, was hoping to ultimately acquire a #, which was GREAT! I was thinking about SKF/Timken, etc. Getting the "Torrington 203PP" really was a plus! This is great... thanx again! Edited November 4, 2014 by kidjc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
