Tensioner Pulley Replaceable?
Hey guys,
After replacing the alternator pulley due to a squeak, I'm thinking about refreshing the idler and tensioner pulleys just because. I found the idler pulley online, but I can't seem to locate the tensioner pulley. Only the entire tensioner seems to be sold. Any thoughts? Is the idler the same as the tensioner pulley? Thanks for any suggestions!

I researched this a while back because I thought my tensioner pulley was making noise. The whole thing has to be purchase as one unit; the pulley itself I could never find available. I have an idler pulley in the garage sitting collecting dust because I was going to replace it as well. After all this, it turned out to just be the belt. New OEM belt, and the squealing was gone. YAY!

Thanks for your response! The pulleys still seem smooth, I just figured since I replaced the alternator pulley might as well do the rest of them. I'll just leave them alone for now.
