Keep polishing. It pretty much all pays the same. My latest “can’t fix stupid” moment was yesterday. A new hire restaurant manager decided to “save money” by de icing a walk-in freezer, Larkin evaporator coil, LCE120 with a screwdriver. Two holes in the drain pan and three through the coil. Clipped two loops in the center. Installing the replacement evaporator assembly tomorrow. His employment ended this morning. Nice videos.

Those idler pulleys are my biggest pet peeve with Trane. For the life of me, I don’t understand why they don’t give you all the hardware when you buy the pulley as a kit and change accordingly. Great video as always, thanks for sharing.

3:30, top nut tightens the sheathe bearing(PULLEY) to device, the nut below that is used as a locknut and is also a locking nut! I'm thinking that's for sure "NOT" factory and field modified. lol it backed off once from not being tight enough and they went ok FUUUUUUU. locking nut as the locking nut . 🤪

A fender washer between the idler and the frame would have lowered that pulley so it would have been in alignment.
