How to remove auxiliary belt tensioner idler pulley bearing
Discussion
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?

Thanks. Not quite the same engine but that does suggest it just bolts on.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tnR9Y_xSlc
