VMP 90mm idler bearing

[eighty6gt]

So, it's an NSK B17-102DG46. I think 17 inside, 46 outside.

Bearing places haven't got it, they say it's an automotive bearing, contact the manufacturer. VMP will certainly sell me a new idler, but I'd rather fix this one and save wasting materials and money.

Anyone spec out a retrofit bearing?

I can probably do it, just get something with similar seals, determine belt speed at in/min or whatever and see what RPM it needs to handle, double that, or just get a part number off of another idler bearing and reverse engineer the specs that way.

Banging around on the parts sites. I think I can get damn near any idler pulley at all from the parts store and harvest the bearing out of it. I only have one car, luckily I live near a parts place open until 9PM... I'll put the info in this post if nobody else knows so there'll be a future reference.

You can get a 5.4L idler from an F150 for like $30.
