Vortech repairs?
Ok, once again this damn thing has done the bearings.
I dont believe the belt was that tight, and it has been running the same belt, same tension since October, maybe some 2500-3000 miles or so.
So....I would say it is only the pulley shaft bearings, as whilst it is noisy, it still rotates freely by hand, and feels ok.
So can these bearings be bought for DIY repair ? or are Vortech the only people who can repair ?
Id prefer not to have to ship it back to the US for repairs, as i want it back running ASAP.
Isnt one of the Vortech guys a member here ? anyone know his username ?
Outer bearing at pulley end is definately bad ( as is oil seal ) race is pitted. Havent managed to strip it any further though.
