Thanks, but I'm trying to avoid having to remove the tensioner with all the extra work involved. Just wondered if it was standard for one pulley to fall off with the bolt removed and the other to feel like it's a press fit?

I'm replacing the bearings on my 1UZ serpentine belt idler and tensioner pulleys. The idler pulley came off easily but the tensioner pulley appears to be stuck on it's shaft. Is there a trick to removing it? Do I need to use a puller? Really don't want to break the tensioner casting! TIA..
