Worn Bearing?
Hi guys,
Take a look at the picture attached. That pulley is producing some grinding sound, like worn bearing. Mech. said must change the whole pump. What's that thingy?
It can be solve temporary by spraying a little bit of WD-40.... Advice guys?

Don't over tension the belts, guys. Too much tension drastically shortens the life of the bearings in the accessories because of the side load on the pulley. The belts don't require near as much tension as most seem to think.

If I remember correctly, you loosen the nut on the pulley next to the power steering pump (small pulley in your pic). Then loosen the bolt on top of the bracket holding that pulley. The bolt is pointed down vertically to that pulley. You loosen that bolt up and the pulley will move up, easing tension.

bringing this back from the dead...
im hearing a grinding noise in conjunction with a slight squealing. this only happens in the lower RPM range. after searching, and searching and hours of reading im almost positive that my p/s pump pulley has a worn bearing. question is, could it be possible that the (possible) worn bearing is slowing the pulley enough to cause the belt to slip over it? could my belts have stretched over time? could the recent super-humidity have caused all this in the first place?
need some further help on the issue....
