Car: Peugeot 307 1.6 16v petrol with NFU (TU5JP4) engine.

Noticed that the tensioner bearing is not as smooth as a new one might be and has a very tiny amount of play. As the tensioner is working fine it seems a waste to change the whole unit when all it needs is a bearing. Question is how does the bearing and pulley come off, is it just bolted on to the tensioner or is there more complication than that?

Tensioner is part: 5751.G7, picture of unit here: https://www.sparepartstore24.co.uk/oen-5751g7

Thanks. Not quite the same engine but that does suggest it just bolts on.

Yep, it just bolts on. Have fitted new bearing and pulley now.
