I got 2 question when you change your belt tensioner ,you also need to replaced the Idler Pulley?i agree with ivan, with the belt off move and spin the idler, if it feels dry or growley or has play replace it, also are you referring to the pulley on the tensioner or the stand along pulley, the one on the tensioner will come with one, gates makes a great choice.I got 2 question when you change your belt tensioner ,you also need to replaced the Idler Pulley?Only replace parts that need replacing. With a cold engine remove the belt and shake the idler, any shake or squeal, replace it. Otherwise ignore it, it goes away.
