Greg, the centre of that idler is steel and the shaft is steel how come they don't just heat up and seize? I've just used 400 grit on a shaft and replaced the idler and it heat seized in less than two minutes. Any ideas? Thanks from Andy from Aussie Homestead NSW Australia 🦘
Yeah it always seemed strange to me too. I clean up shafts of rollers and idlers all the time but never had one seize up, they are supposed to have an oil impregnated in them that is to stop them from heating up.
Thanks for watching, and let me know if you have fixed your dryer for this issue and what was wrong.
Great content super easy to understand and to follow step by step THANK YOU!
I'm glad it helped, thanks for watching!
