Default SC300 idle pulley bearing? Chirping!!

Lately my car has been making a chirping noise (similar to the sound of a cricket) and after searching, many owners say it's the idler pulley bearing. The chirping comes on whether a/c is on or off and if the clutch pedal is depress or not. As long as the engine is running, it'll chirp and chirp faster if you rev it.

But the part # they mentioned was for the SC400 and was wondering if someone here would know if they have the same size bearing?

Has any SC300 ever had this problem or changed their idler bearing or idler pulley?

The part # was 6203-2RSJ and the size is 17x40x12.

I can have a used good working idler pully (complete, just unbolt yours with 3 bolts from the block and bolt this one on), for $40 shipped USPS priority tomorrow morning. PM me.

dont rev it or even drive it. The bearing is about to sieze and ruin your belt
