RONAN Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Don`t know if it`s still on there but for the longest time, someone on EBAY was selling entire timing kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 If you have a place nearby that sells bearings you may be able to just take your old one there and they could try matching it up with a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msteel Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 It sounds like maybe you bought this car that I though about getting: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=78565 Hey I got my first subaru, a 94 loyale wagon, about a week and a half ago and it has been running well. Today I was idling at a stop light and it started making a grinding noise, the check engine light came on, and then it quit. It would not start back up, it turns over and sometimes sounds like it might start but doesn't.Do you think this could be the distributor or a timing belt breaking or something else? The PO said he did the timing belts 10k mi ago. Thank you for your help. Anders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azsubaru Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The idler bearing is pretty easy to replace. It's a standard size. You can take the whole idler to NAPA and they'll help you out, may even put the new bearing in for you. Or take a socket or something the right size and knock the bearing out of the center. You'll see the number on it. It'll be 6200 series (I think it's 6203) Go to NAPA or a bearing house (even my local ACE carries this size bearing) and get a high quality sealed bearing with that number. Gently tap the new bearing in and you're ready to go. $10 - 15 bucks for the bearing, 20 minutes to remove and install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjoffroad92 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yea msteel thats the one. I ordered an idler off of ebay, I never thought about napa carrying bearings wish I would have thought of that lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjoffroad92 Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 ok i bought a bearing from napa and pressed it on today. I pressed it to the mark where the last bearing was. I reinstalled the idler and when tightened it will not move because the plastic cover behind it is against the sprocket. There are marks indicating the last sprocket was spinning against it also. Has anyone run into this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone run into this problem? Does you're cover still have it's rubber gaskets? Is the cover warped? If you have to (or want to) you can run it with no T-belt covers. Many many people do it. I don't, but I spend too much time in deep snow and mud, and I just hate taking off stuff that was meant to be there. But in a case like this, if you can't find a new cover, you can go no cover if you have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjoffroad92 Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 I pressed the bearing to correct spot on the sprocket and it works fine. I think the PO may have tried pressing a new bearing in and pressed it in too far causing it to rub on the cover and fail. So the vehicle is running fine now. Thank you everyone for your help.

yzerman19 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 use the belt and the crank turn/align the pulley for you, then take the belt off and realign you belt-mark on the flywheel, making sure the other pulley is pointing 180 from drivers side when you hit the mark. Re-install the [new] belt on the drivers side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
