Mechanic has told me need to replace idler pulley? and the tensioner pulley?...

Dont know alot about it ... whether thats the pulley or just the bearings or they go together?

I assume there is some cheaper places other than Toyota to get these from?

Any info would help
Cheers

CBC bearing will have them for cheaper than Toyota but they are still quite expensive and they're not easy to install either since they're behind a heap of other bits. The two bearings can be seen installed in the centre of this pic from when i did my cambelt earlier this year.

If you're going to replace them you probably should do the water pump and cam belt too.

I got mine from a mate who works for place who makes conveyer belts for a steal. Might be able to get you some cheaper from him again, i'll see what i can do. Anyway try CBC and see what their price is.

Unless they are for the serpentine belt which is easier to do.

Great post thanks Mark.. there is a CBC nearby... I dont mind buying them at CBC, I wanted to avoid buying them at Toyota because they would probably charge 10x CBC price lol
