my tensioner nut broke, so i set the pully in as far as it would go and locked it down. i use the ps pump to tension the belt, but i don't think you could totally eliminate the pully. maybe jst take it out and clean and lube it.

All you have to do is replace the bearing in the pulley. Satan wants somewhere around $150 for the whole tensioner assembly, but jamesman(BEARING MAN) found a cheap replacement bearing from Mcmaster Carr for around $7. I had a whisle on that bearing for years, till I replaced it with the Mcmaster Carr bearing. Fits like a glove and works like a charm. It's even stronger then the one that comes on the dealer's $150 replacement assembly.

I hope so, that would be sweet. Mine is due for a change. The timing belt tensioner is just about the same size and construction of the ps tensioner. I'd measure mine, but it's tensioning the timing belt right now.
Does someone have one of these assemblies lying around? If you could please pull and measure the bearing for: a) shaft diameter b) outside diameter c) width
Mcmaster Carr lists a hell of alot of bearings. The bearings we'd need for the timing belt tensioner should be somewhere around page 981. Or just post the measurements and I'll look it up.

Yes you can, I am running mine straight from UDP to PS pulley. The part # for a belt from NAPA to do it is 25-050375. Fits like a glove if you have a UDP on, not sure for standard pulleys though....

ok so far, i didn't find a part number for the bearing at advance auto parts but this is what i did find. i found a part number for a pulley for a 96 or 97 chrysler sebring 2.0liter engine with vin code Y. though the pulley looks nothing like the stock one it does bring in some question to whether it will work. the part number is at my house. i will post it when i get home. i'll also look for the bearing, which'll be a long search.

some of you are talking about the timing belt and some are talking about the accessory belt pulleys. dont get confused
also blackdog motorsports makes this ??will it work in our cars??
Blackdog Motorsports Solid Timing Belt Tensioner The Blackdog solid tensioner replaces any "torpedo" style tensioner with an adjustable positive locking design to eliminate problems associated with the factory tensioner when using big cams, shaved heads, etc. Drop in replacement for stock, and cheaper too!
