Both of the idler pulleys that came with my Island failed, were replaced, and now the new ones have failed. The edges of the pulley are missing or bent downward to the outside. They look like the cable went over the edge, bent the edges down, and now the cable slides right off of the pulley.
Two questions; 1. Does anyone make a stainless steel version of this pulley so I can avoid this issue entirely? 2. Assuming this is my issue rather than a design flaw, am I over-tightening or under-tightening the idler cable?
