    Congrats on fixing your dryer, I admire your tenacity. Maybe we should see what everyone feels about dryer sheets, fabric softener, dryer tricks and tips. I might be having a cocktail or two.:santa2:

    $28 in parts from Amazon, no hardware store visit, and lots of you tube videos later and i'm back in business.

    oh, and balls. i'm a big fan of dryer balls. they help keep stuff fluffed up and dries faster. bit noisy though

    Wheeler's/Alcan 5-pack leaf springs, OME 881's, de-badged, Jungle Fender Flares, Herculined bed, HomerTaco grille, Anzo headlights, clear corners,
    Bought a kit of parts that had an idler pulley, belt, and the drum rollers. Was cheaper to get that than buy everything individually and since I didnt know what was wrong that seemed a safe bet to buy
    I don't have jump ring pliers so I wasn't able to replace the drum rollers. I put a little machine oil on the cake of the existing ones and moved on to the pulley.
    While I was working on that I realized that the little metal band that keeps the end of the motor in place had slipped and was sitting at an angle. Managed to get that back in place and replaced the pulley and belt. The pulley assembly was just one nut/bolt and the spring so super easy. Also noticed the new assembly has a nylon washer on either side of the wheel. The old one didn't and there wasn't any evidence that there had been one but there was a lot of play in the wheel so maybe it completely disintegrated.
    Hardest part was getting the belt wrapped back around everything during reassembly. Was just about to give up and it just slipped back on
    Left arrow is the retainer for the motor that had slipped, now back in its right place. And the new pulley with nylon washer on the right

    Not a job well done unless you shed a little blood

    I'm good and thank you for asking. Traveling a lot, currently on the Gulf Coast of Florida (Lecanto). Came down two days ago. Had to step back from TW and get some things done, rest a bit and get some work done. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
    Most of all, please be safe out there.

    That’s only part.
    This is our last year of doing anything big.
    Can’t afford it. Couldn’t afford it this year.
    I hope it can be paid off before next year.
    Carol has been cooking nonstop since 3am.
    I made room for 24 people in the garage..
