Pulleys

OK Guys, Been Reading anp posting for a little while now. I need y'alls advice now.

It appears that the pulley on the tensioner is going bad (bearing). It is cocked off to the side and is beginning to mill the edge of the pulley on the lockbolt. How hard is it to just replace the pulley versus replacing the whole tensioner assembly?

Advice from fellow gearheads would be appreciated!!

I replaced my whole tensioner at 110,00 miles at a cost of about $90.00. My thought was it did it's job so now I must do mine. I would hate to see it let go and take the belt with it.

Thanks,

I went ahead and replaced the whole thing for $95 with tax because upon inspection the pulley bearing was fine. One of the springs had turned loose.
