Fair enough but just wanted to point out the need not to overlook the tensioner bearing (also an 'idler' actually) as noise could be coming from any one of the three.
And at >$10ea they should all be replaced at the same time.

Well my first move is I found the noise to be on the (looking at the motor from the front ) left hand side . So i unbolted the idler which tensions the left side and took it off . It turned out to be first time lucky as it was this one that is shagged . Rang around town looking for a bearing to replace it and they have to be ordered in . So I jammed it full of grease and put it back in and hoping for it to last the weekend . Bring on monday .

regarding recycling bearings.

Clean them out thoroughly before repacking and, provided you caught them early enough, you should get heaps more life out of them.

Thanks for that Roger . I did clean the bearing properly and repacked it with new grease but is still making the noise so it will be replaced next week . And as you have said i will replace all three while i'm at it .

Didn't have it in stock??? They're a pretty standard bearing and available through places like Repco. I got mine for $6.50 each, always good to have a spare too.

6203 is the bearing, shouldn't be hard to get, even get them from an autoelec.
