We have 4 Turbo 9000's that are kepted on the road.On the 2.3L with the sepentine belts i have found out after i have replaced parts,that the pulleys die from the grease harding up in the bearing after 1,000,000 miles.The bearing side shield are metal with both a rubber lip at the center and the outside edge.I remove both the side sheilds and wash the bearing old grease out,if no side play has developed from wear in the bearings.So now i recycle the repacked bearing,rather than replace them with new ones.I also disassemble the tensioner shock and clean and rebuild them also.It's my old school maintenence,rather than breakdown on the roadside mentality,Yes-besides being a cheap bastard!!!
