Question 98 ML320 Belt Tensioner Replacement

Hi Group,
Well, it appears my belt tensioner pulley bearings failed and caused the serp belt to the burn up and fail. Does the pulley get replaced or is it the while tensioner assembly that gets replaced. I've priced the whole thing and know what to expect to pay.

Thanks much,

I believe you can get just the pulley, if that's all that failed.

On my '99, I drilled the rivets out of the pulley and replaced the bearing with Grainger 6L025, NTN 6203LLBC3/5C for $9. Rivets were replaced with 5mm bolts and Nylock nuts facing out. The tool is a TORX E12 which fits the detensioning stud and the 2 bolt heads. Pull the lower bolt before removing the belt as the detensioned pulley will obscure it. There is a hole and ledge that matches when fully tensioned to hold it but it is underneath and found by feel or crawling under the vehicle.
Pully was not available; replacement assemblies cost $150 at local auto parts and had plastic pullies. I was waiting on my order when I disassebled and found a number to feed into the Grainger search engine. Incidentally, this 40mm x 17mm x 12mm ball bearing is sealed not just shielded like the original.
