P/S tensioner pulley making noise

Where do I find a replacement? No one seems to have it. Or is it better to find just the bearing and if so where and how hard is it to replace the bearing?

www.Shonutperformance.com sells just the bearing. There really is no other option now unless you find a used one. To install the bearing its as simple as pounding the old one out. Put the new bearing in the freezer and put the pulley in the oven a 200f or so. After 30 min or so slide the bearing in the pulley and your done. Or press the old one out with the new one if you have access to a press.

Thanks, was hoping to find it cheaper. Napa.com comes up with a pulley that will supposedly work, but it is plastic and ribbed, not metal and smooth like the OEM one.

Lots of places think they have the right one but its always a let down then they get it in hand.

That pulley won't work.

You can try to pull the seal out of the bearing on the pulley you have and oil it, to try and quiet it down.

We offer the bearing installed into a good used pulley: SHO Source

I did this to mine and it worked well. The first time i did this it still made noise so I cleaned out all the grease and put new in there and now it works. did thie a few months ago and still going strong.
