Or are there more preferred options?Well I checked with Repco, and they do have an idler pulley made from machined steel (see pic), so given past experiences with alu, this is now going on my car.Cost was only $35, so worthwhile insurance.

Cheers3/8 breaker bar to get the belt off, and a socket to undo the one bolt on the tensioner.Putting it back on is easy as it lines it self up so you can't get positioning wrong. (I used some medium locktite on the bolt) 1
