Make sure you take care of this soon as possible.
I kept pushing it off to the side for well over 2 months... bad idea!

It could've been a real inexpensive fix, either replace bearing($5-$10) from the idler, or the idler it self ($15-$25)...

Or be like me and push it off to the side until the tensioner it self gets eaten up by the bad bearing, and it'd be a over $100 fix...

now to the pics...

bad bearing inside the pulley...
bad tensioner with damaged bolt threads...
and last pic is new tensioner installed...
