So the bearings on my tensioner pulley are shot for sure, so I wanted to get that pulley replacement alone without replacing the entire tensioner. I called a Lexus dealership and they told me the part number for the pulley alone is 16604-0P011, however this number pulls up the idler pulley alone. Are the pulleys for both the idler and tensioner pulley the same? I couldn't tell when I took both of them off earlier today, but I just want to make sure I order the correct part for the replacement.

Thanks!

No, the idler and the tension pulley are not the same. Back when I was researching having to replace my pulleys, I found out that the tensioner pulley and the bracket are only sold as one piece. However, within the last couple of months I remember someone mentioning having to replace their tensioner pulley and were able to do so with just a new pulley. I don't recall if they ever posted the part # of the pulley itself though. A thorough search might be able to bring this thread up for you.

Good luck!

Are you sure they aren't the same part number? I'll call the dealership again on Monday and see what they say.

Lexus does not sell the tensioner pulley separately, no.

Bummer, guess I'll have to get out the whole arm. Would you happen to know the correct part number?

Is it hard to replace? The arm assembly makes it seem like I'm going to need more space than I have access to in order to replace the entire thing. I'm not really up for removing the front bumper again.
