I forgot about this topic.

I centered both the main shaft and the idler shaft and tightened the allen screws. I have not had any problems with this drive since.

This drive was initially hardly used because I have three drives between the AI and TI. I suspect the allen screws were not initially locked down as tight. I have added a allen tool to my repair kit and check this part more closely when doing maintenance. I do worry about stripping or splitting the plastic piece.

Just clean up and greased idler pulley shaft area - much smoother and quieter.

The only way I learn is to screw it up every possible way first, and hope the learning curve isn't too expensive$$.

Thanks for your help
