there is a squeeling noise coming from the idler pulley. I have replaced the idler pulley and the belt but it still squeels. I sprayed WD40 on the idler pulley at the bolt and it stops for a very short time then squeels.

are you positive its coming from the idler and not another pulley? I just cant understand why it would still squeel, without the new pulley being faulty too, or the belt being too loose or too tight
