Tensioner Pulley

Anyone know if the tensiner pulley bearings are servicable or if I have to buy a whole new pulley.

I can get the bearings for about $10 or the pulley for $40.

Thanks.

I bought it from cummins for $100. It is made by dayco, which is the same one you can get from GhetoZone for $65. I would rather have spent more for a Gates if i could of found one. It only take 15min. to change including getting out the tools, installation, and cleaning up.

Well I ended up changing the whole pulley. It is not easily servicable. Here's what happened when I pushed the bearings out.



It has a couple of raised endges to keep the bearings in place.
