I'm getting a bit of a squealing noise from the belt drive area. I've got just under 60k miles on it, bearings might be starting to go out.
Do I need a puller tool to get the Idler Pulley off?
Do I need to remove any accessories to get either of these replaced?
Any tips would be great, Thanks

17mm socket and a pin(Allen wrench would work fine) to remove the tension from the belt, the tensioner is spring activated. Then it’s just a T10 or 12 socket I believe for either pulley..replace sooner rather than later as mine exploded and almost ruined my water pump

And no you don't need a puller to remove the idler pulley (assuming you mean the pulley(s) not on the tensioner.) They both have a central bolt with a Torx head on it.

I replaced the tensioner & two idler pulleys today. Easy job, less than an hour start to finish.
