    Mmm let me see.yes
    $20 7PK2120 OEM Quality Serpentine Belt
    7PK2120 from Amazon.
    Quality looked great, it fit easily and then was tight when you release the tensioner. I started it for about 10 seconds and then got back under to make sure it was on everything correctly. I’ll be driving it all week for work maybe 10-20 miles per day

    All stock, baby!
    The bearing replacement is usually only done on the tensioner pulley. You can’t buy the tensioner pulley separately from the assembly, and it’s more work to install that than just the pulley, so it often just gets a bearing replacement. The other pulleys are replaced with new assemblies.

    You put the bearing in the TENSIONER pully.
    You drive your old bearing out of the pulley, and replace it with a new one.
    The idlers, you replace the the whole thing. The pulley and all.

    Also, the bolt for the Tensioner pulley is LEFTHAND thread.
    Clockwise will LOOSEN the bolt. (The opposite of a normal bolt)
