idler pully cool find

[fingernipp]

I was getting ready to replace the smooth idler pully on my 97 astro and decided to check the bearing to see how bad the failure was (squeeling). After pulling the bolt out and getting a good look at my bearing i noticed it was a little too similar to the ones used for my 97 KTM 250sx front wheel. I happened to have a spare laying around and pressed the pully bearing out to compare... turns out they are exact same dimentions! Pressed the wheel bearing in and saved myself some $$! Useless info for most .. but i felt that i had to share.

Now you just need to post the part number and let everyone know where they can get them

If you go to a parts house or e retailer that sells bearings, the part no is NSK 6203DUL1. If they don't have it in NSK they can cross referance the number. Very reasonably priced.
