Measure the pulley bearing on your sc12 for me?[if you haven't re-assembled that is]<br>
After three years of constant running I believe the bearing is signing out. Makes crunchy noises when cold, but settles down after it warms a bit.<br>
I cannot take the car off the road for any length of time, as it's presently the 'workvan', so I find myself in the position of driving around waiting for the magnetic clutch assembly to launch itself into my radiator!!<br>
Not exactly the most relaxing drive, but this is my only four wheeled transport, and the turbo doesn't have roof racks.......Of course if it s***ts itself I'll have plenty of time to fix it then, but will not have the money to afford the repairs. Ain't life wonderful<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
Thanks in advance mate<br>

Ack, sounds nasty, and to make it worse I cant measure the bearing because its in france with the rest of my toys and Im in england on contract for ages.<br>
Next time Im back there will be easter/april now (having been there over xmas), theres not even someone half compentant local I can ring up and get them to take it off/find it in the shed either. I have a feeling I remember looking at it and it was a standard bearing size too and its stamped on it.<br>
Going back through my photo archives I can only find this :-<br>
<!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://fluffycentral.com/sc12backofpulley.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>
The other thing from memory is that its really deep, its almost the depth of the pulley itself (say less maybe 15-20mm), so if you can hoik the dimensions from that photo (bloody difficult I know) and theres only one near it in the catalog, then maybe...<br>
This site has the charger bearings detailed in it, but not the big clutch one, lets hope you dont need this but anyway:-<br>

Have you thought about ordering the bearing from a toyota dealer as a part? They may be nice and give you the dimensions too (unlikely though) or just supply one, worth a check out to see what the oem ones cost apiece, or maybe get a clue from the part number or somesuch?<br>
Sorry I cant be of more help, bad timing im afraid <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
If I can dig any more info up Ill post it here.<br>

Thanks for your efforts Phil, it's a pity you are separated from your toy shed, don't think I could handle living without a playroom......<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :smash --><img src=http://www.btinternet.com/~lorcan.parnell/smash.gif ALT=":smash"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
I'll try Toyota for the number, I know a friendly dude behind the counter there, maybe I'll get lucky, but buying from them would have to be the easiest way to clean out the bank account!! <br>
There are plenty of other bearing suppliers in Darwin however, so I guess the number is the vital ingredient here.<br>
Cheers mate, thanks for the link too. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Hi Stan,<br>
Thanks for offering. Yes, the front bearing on my sc14 blower is slowly dying, and toyota darwin inform me the bearing is not a toyota part as such,[ no numbers on their system], but I guess they will sell me the whole blower if I ask nicely!<br>
It's anybody's guess how much that will be..........so..... if you have this part kicking around I'll gladly take it off your hands<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :thumbup --><img src=http://www.750turbo.com/emoticons/thumbup.gif ALT=":thumbup"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
cheers <br>
