The tensioner pulley for my Dodge is plastic, no surprise. The bearing needs to be replaced. I can buy a new one for around 10.00. from China. Or replace the bearing with a US made bearing I already have. It appears the bearing has no retaining rings. It is just pressed into the plastic. The bearing has stayed in place for all these years. Are these plastic pulleys made to accept another bearing, just using the press fit. Same with the idler pulley, but it's metal, and should accept another bearing, with just the press fit. May use some Loctite on that one. What do you think? Stan
