Grease on Idler Replacement?

Dryer Repair
1

Hey,

I’m replacing the idler pulley (PN WE12X81) on my GE DPSB613ED2WW dryer. The OEM part had grease on it, but the installation instruction videos I’ve seen don’t indicate that grease is required. Do I need to apply some red lithium grease to the spring shaft or do I just need to install the pulley without any grease? It spins freely without it and doesn’t wobble. If I need to install grease, how much? Just a light coating, or does it need to be slathered on like the OEM part?

Thanks!

This type of bearing does not require grease.
