the idler pulley on this vehicle is getting stuck every time I tighten the nut that holds it. meaning when the belt is running on it smoke comes out. this is the idler pulley that runs air conditioner compressor. so I replaced it.same thing happened with the new one. only when I fasten the nut.could the bracket be bent? i cannot figure it out. what am I missing? i checked another vehicle just like it to make sure I put it on right and I did. just do not know why it is locking up. all the other belts are running fine.
