First step, grab the rear pulley and just see how it will deflect. If it wobbles easily, the belt won't ever track on center. But the SqWeekIng can be minimized by loosening it. When Dave said Twist 90* with thumb and forefinger, absotively a great idea. And Do that with a fourth grade TomBoy in mind. You aren't goin to jump the lumps outta grooves.between the belt and pulley. As much grief as I give WD40 there are good applications for their products. They have expanded their line. They make a dry powder lube now. I haven't used it yet, but I bought some. The problem with WD40 isn't the product, it's the wrong application and expectations. When I see it sprayed into the door hinge on a car I cringe. That is where white lithium spray goes. WD flushes what lube is left out, but works for a few days. I "Pickled" all the guts of a BigAss automatic transmission with two or three cans of WD40 ,on the bosses orders, and parked them on top of the bathroom in a warehouse in West Texas, low humidititty place, coupla months later I hadda go up there for something and everything was Rusted! WD40 EvaPorates. Discovering that was costly for my boss. He thought I didn't use enough,, took a while to get him calmed down. That changed my mind about WD. It's not a lubricant,but it works as one for a while, as it flushes whatever lube is there Out. WD stands for Water Displacement. The 40th attempt Worked. Get water in your distributor cap, pop it off, hose it out with WD, hit the rotor and everything else and that MoFo Ottsta fire up..
There are several ways to stabilize the pulley. The most straightforward and dependable is the double bearing. I red-necked mine and Minimized the wobble,but didn't end it. It became tolerable,,🤐
