I am in the process of doing my first timing belt change on this car.
It has 103K miles. The timing belt has 23K miles and is 2 years old.
The tensioner and idler pulleys don't look as if they have ever been replaced.
The tensioner pulley spins well, but the seals are brittle. The idler puller
has good seals, but is sluggish and I can hear the bearings move when I shake it.
The timing belt appears the best of these parts. I can see no cracks or weathering. It looks almost as new as the one that I am replacing it with.
Is there any way to lubricate the bearings?
Do I need to replace the belt if it shows no wear?
