Timing Belt Idler Bearings

[superlex1]

:feedback: Hi i'm in the middle of changing my timing belt, i went and got a water pump for good measure and all other ignition parts and have run a little short on cash. Today i found the idler bearing on the tensioner is a bit stuffed and should be replaced. Is there any other way of going instead of geniune?

Yes,

There are few companies make after market timing bearings.

Read Pete's article on Planet Soarer on changing the cam belt.

He suggests where to get the bearing.
