I bought a new belt tensioner because my bearing on the pulley was making noise. I did not want to disassemble the old tensioner from my motor so I just took the bearing/pulley off the new one. I believe the noise was caused by some grit that was behind the bearing.
so I have the brand new tensioner and the pulley and bearing off my old one. once I disassembled the pulley, you can see all you have to do is pop in a new bearing.
anyway- $40 plus shipping for the new tensioner and the used pulley/bearing.
I'll post pics and part # later

I fiddled with it a little tensioner a little and put everything back together and the noise disapeared. however, my friend had already ordered the new tensioner, so I replaced the bearing and pulley just to be safe. the noise was actually gone before I put on the new pulley/bearing.

here's the brand new tensioner...I think it also fits Tundra and Seqouia, not sure on GS400.

here's the backside of pulley/bearing. you can see that the bearing can be presseed out and replaced. It has 30,500 miles on it.
