I just replaced idler pulley and it's the larger of the two so it has that carriage bolt and then from there you have that belt guide and then on top of that you put that idler pulley and then on top of that you put a washer and then on top of that you tighten it down with the nut.
I don't have a video for this but once you tighten it down you can take the pulley and just wobble it in any direction + the belt guide you can slide it back and forth.
So the question is is this the way it's supposed to mount wobbly pulley and a belt guide that slides back and forth.

The only thing I could think of is the socket that I'm using is somehow messing up the ability to tighten it really tight I don't know for sure but when I get done tightening it there's a noticeable Gap between the frame and where the shaft for the pulley maybe like an eighth of an inch r as tight as it's going to be The only thing I could think of is just getting an adjustable wrench and put it on that nut and just keep tightening it and see if it closes up the Gap between the bottom shaft of the large pulley and the deck frame and of course the belt guide is in between and that is wobbling as well but more side to side maybe the problem is I need to use like I said an adjustable wrench
So I found this video from repair clinic and they're referring to it as a large deck pulley which makes sense it's the larger one so I have done exactly what this guy has done but what I'm saying is that once everything's all tightened up the whole deck pulley wobbles there's no way to get it tighter in his video I don't see him trying to make the large deck pulley wobble but that's what the one I have is doing.
