Default Re: Use of MEK to restore idler wheel?

Looking back in my old notes, if the idler tyre has become rigid and hard no amount of cleaning or solvents will reactivate it. A work around that we used was a flat cassette drive belt of slightly smaller diameter fixed to the tyre surface with rubber cement (not super glue as it made it too rigid ).
