You can buy the complete idler assy. from Cat(expensive)or you can buy
just the bearings,plug and snap ring from Cat(much cheaper). The
hardest part about rebuilding it is getting the old bearings off the
shaft(hard to hold in press)I had a shop cut them off with a bearing
cutter. Works great after done and saves you about $200.00 compared
with a whole new assy. Jim Matus 1984 35FC Rescue CA
