Ordered 6301-2RS and I should say it's narrower than original BD20-15DUL part, and besides it only seems to have one row of ***** inside
Unfortunately, the industry only makes 12x37mm bearings (ID/OD respectively) being 12mm wide and with single row of bearings. The 2301 series is 12x37mm two-row and 17mm wide but I don't know if it's applicable by other parameters
The original bearing has a sleeve depressed into its internal diameter, so it's actually two parts.

Most of the aftermarket bearings for the idler pulley don't have that inner sleeve which actually balances the pulley on the engine. I've been searching and may have to end up just buying a OEM pulley from the dealer online.

we just knocked the inner sleeve out and reused it, no problem
Awesome, thanks! My supplier lists it at clightly lower price than the assembled pulley. My original pulley had one 2-row bearing and a sleeve pressed into it. Should I keep the sleeve or "6203 2RSJ" already has the proper inner diameter?
No, keep the sleeve. You will have to re-use it. The bearings are two separate items.
Yeah, you can get them for $6-$8 online, but I have to have it TODAY. Can't run the car without it. And I didn't know the correct part number until I took the old one out.
I never could find one with both bearings and sleeve in a single unit. You would think that the part number "6203DUL18", that the DUL part meant Dual?.(guess that makes too much sense)
