Lots of people were asking what kind of grease, it’s NGLI no. 2 wheel bearing grease, don’t know which brand he’s using but it’s same same. Lucas oil red and tacky NGLI no.2 is a brand if you want one

Now, that thing runs super smooth and drive heavy duty bugle screws without any struggle. Also, the chuck just feel warm after one day's intense work rather than burning hot like before.

By the time you hear it, the rollers are damaged. Yes, you can repack with new grease, but the lifespan is greatly reduced. A cheap best solution is that the bearing can be pressed out and replaced at a fraction of the price of the whole assembly.

I believe when I replaced the head gaskets it had a really bad idler pulley and I just forgot about it… The belt seems to be running true so idk… Maybe I’ll start with that bad pulley and go from there…

The noise you have most likely is internal to your smog pump, the pulley doesn't have a bearing. Now if you manage to dissasemble your pump, there probably is bearings in there where you could apply this fix, but I don't know how doable this is.

I hope it'll last but I feel like that bearing is probably in the end of it's life anyways. IMO once it ran dry once, it's going downhill from there, it made a bunch of metal shaving, some remain even after repacking and those shavings will make it eat itself alive.

Don't over pack them, you may have a little too much grease in the not gonna lie. Fill them to about 25% capacity because there needs to be space in there for the balls to move around instead of having to plough through the grease. If you over pack them they'll overheat over time

What kind of grease (the red stuff) should I be looking for? Is there a brand I can find in auto zone? Another reason why you shouldn't use WD-40 is that it can get on your belt and cause slippage, and the grease that it cleans out can also get on to the belt
