Squealing Noise... Help Please

#5
three things i can think of off the top of my head are listen carefully with the engine running, with the engine off feel the pulleys to see if any of em have side to side play in them indicating they are worn, also at work we have stethoscopes that we use to listen to a specific point while the engine is running
also try searching through this section and look for threads relating to bad belt tensioners, im pretty sure i saw a few of them a while back, when the tensioner goes bad people were saying it made some nasty squeeling noises

Could be the idler or tensioner pulley bearing going bad. Don't wait much longer!
Each is bearing part number 6203-2RSJ (NAPA). Easy to replace just the bearing if your pulley is straight. There are various part numbers for those bearings (6203-xxxx) as they are used in lawn mowers, pulleys, etc, so you want to buy the better ones, which cost more and last longer (I hope).
If you PM me an e-mail address, I can send you photos of the pulley/bearing re-grease.
I dis-assemble and re-grease my pulley bearings and am using that 6203-2RSJ as a test for longevity. It cost 16.99 alone, which is about what a new pulley with a bearing costs.
If you are handy enough to do the underdrive pulley AND cheap, you too can re-grease them as a troubleshooting step for free. Again, I have photos for the asking.
