Richard,
Thanks for the information. I removed the front bearing plate as you indicated. The idler shaft was worn along with the bushing area. Happen to have a metric bushing that fit the shaft perfectly and reamed out the plate to fit the bushing's O.D. For an interim repair that should work. For right now we are good to go.
Went to ebay looking for the Bosch idler assembly....happened to find another Bosch P/N that looks like it will work (3397000095)....best of all $30. A quick search came up with that number on several international suppliers. When I get it I will compare it with the original.
