Failing Idle Pulley?


Recommended Posts

If you guys can do me a favor and take a quick look here.

 

The idle pulley has a bit of a wobble to it and I can visibly see 4 of the bearings rubbing up against the outside.

 

I heard a whirring / whine earlier today / yesterday but it sounded like the usual heatshield getting loose again so I pulled out the ol' wrench to tighten the bolt down and noticed the sound persisting while I wasn't idling took a look under the hood and bam, this was winking me in the face.

 

My question is.. I'm at work right now, how much of a gamble would it be to drive this home and to my mechanic in the morning?

I would personally just remove the belt until you can get it fixed, that belt does nothing but drive the A/C so you should be just fine if you can live without A/C for a little bit.

 

I would be careful as if that fails it could take out the other belt with it which >would< leave you stranded.
