ATX Tensioner Bearing - how do you replace it?

[TYSHO]

Believe me, I hear ya loud and clear...but then I can just imagine how it might turnout.

I make him pay for my part, and he insists on me giving him the "old" part, since he now technically "bought" it. And now I have to take it out and give it to him, then trust that he ends up giving me the $$ after banging out the bearing. Or I could have HIM take it out, then he screws up my pulley.

It's just not worth it. But trust me, if this happened when I was 20, my temper would have flared and I'd be in his face bigtime. That's what age does to ya, kind of makes you say "F it" and walk away more than when you were younger.

Why are you scared to tell him something?

You don't have to have him do the work, just reimburse your $40 for the bearing and go elsewhere. If not, take it to a small claims court. It might be only $40, but I will assure you he will lose much more than $40 with the time he has to take away from work just to show up to the court room.

LOL! I'm certainly not scared by any means. That's kind of funny..."Please Sir, don't hurt me, but can I have my $40 for the bearing you F'd up?"

I would say something if I thought he was a standup guy, but I just don't get that impression. Heck, this guy owns a maching shop and he couldn't even press in a bearing?? We're not talking about some Class A business here. It's a rinky **** machine shop. My bad for choosing him to begin with.

I'd rather crack open a beer and bitch to you guys about it!

At this point, I'm just happy she's gonna have all new pulley's on her this Saturday!

Oh man!

I had no idea that the second paragraph was about a possible situation, just something yall talked about already and what you thought would happen. That's why I made the comment and it was based off the first paragraph alone.
