squealing while idling

[earthworm9]

as i slow to a stop theres a squeal that goes away if i rev the engine a bit. is it time to replace the belt or tensioner pulley, or both?

s-belt tensioner bearing is going bad... you can change just the bearing or by a new unit.

I did not know the bearing could be replaced. Is there a part number? Others have complained of having to purchase the entire arm for over several hundred.

i was told to pull the tensioner and take it to a local napa, preferably with the bearing out and ask for a replacement.
