Kev.O Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yes they are. Speak to Chris Wilson as I'm sure he'll be able to remove it and fit a new one for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have made a press tool to change the bearings without any damage. HOWEVER, there are two types of tensioner used. One has a black painted, pressed steel wheel, and these I can refurbish. You can easily recognise this type as the belt rubs the paint off to give a bright steel finish on the periphery of the wheel. The other type has a black moulded plastic wheel, and the bearing is moulded in, and cannot be changed. keep the bearings in stock and if you send me the tensioner, or just the wheel off it, I can turn it around the same day. Thanks for the heads up Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
