007 TACO PRO ....

The dealer also said you do know your idler pulley bearings are making a noise and your going to need to fix your handbrake cable.

 

Sounds like a win!

 

And Neutral safety switch what ever that is is starting to seize up

 

I think this is it ... and it’s still on my parts transmission

 

Sweeeetttttt thanks |

 

This went to $hit really fast ffs

 

Heated the nut and it came off, the bolt and tab just crumbled. The amount of white crosion that was there don’t think it would have mattered. Anyways his was the parts transmission. The dealer told me the family taco needs one, BUT I did not see any symptoms what would they be ?

 

all the neutral safety switch does is make sure you cant start the truck in gear. so I would assume that the truck would show symptoms of not starting even in neutral or park

 

I think the dealer was trying to get some $$$ out of me, when I get the truck back I am going to soak it with penetrating oil

 

yeah ive seen some threads on here of guys just cleaning them up, most the time the issue was just a dirty connector

 

Note to self, and others

Good write up on idler pulley bearings

From the post

To add a bit more info to this thread... For those interested, I've learned the bearings in the Toyota Idler pulleys can be replaced (just did mine a couple weeks ago)... They're about $15 ea (or less) for quality dual rubber sealed NSK, SKF or other bearings. Just hammer out the old dead bearings, and carefully press in the new ones taking care not to press on inner race, or seal. The only additional piece you need, like the Gates aftermarket pulley, is a sleeve to adapt the larger ID bearing for the 10mm mounting point.

Idler Bearing SKF PN: 6302-2rsc3 (needs 15mm to 10mm Adaptor sleeve) Dimentions: ID:15mm, OD:42mm, Width:13mm

 

So in my search GATES ACK070834 has a complete kit $207 CAD anyone know if this has sealed bearings ?

Found a good breakdown on Rock, pics and components

 

lol thanks thats where i got the $207CAD from ....... FML most parts supply places want your first born for this

 

That's a great price for tensioner and all!

 

Sorry Most places in CANADA want $500

 

Its crazy how i can buy this from the US convert it to CAD$ pay shipping duty and tax and still come out ahead

Rock auto with discount code to the door is $234.58 CAD

 

Good deal man! Amazon.ca was over 500.00 smackers, pays to do your homework.

Did you pull the trigger?

 

No not yet as i want to give the guys at the local parts store a chance to see what they can do, he had to call his supplier to check.

 

Picked up tacoma AGAIN ffs and brought it back to the yard. Dealer said it will be a few MONTHS before frame gets here. Going to use this time to pick at it and do some of the modifications i have planed.
