Just sold my '11 Porsche TurboS cab for an '03 SL55!
SC Idler Pulley part number?

It looks like the SC idler pulley (smooth face, not the double ribbed one) is sold as part of the Tensioner Assembly. Anyone know of a part number for the pulley itself?
Or if there's a bearing I could replace in my pulley, so much the better but some of those pulleys are pretty cheap so if it's one of those, maybe that's easier.

The same goes for the Accessory belt idler pulley on that tensioner.

Thanks for the help here.

Reach out to UPD and upgrade to some billet pulleys and idlers. They work awesome and look great as well. And I'm sure they are less expensive than the MB dealer. http://ultimatepd.com/ I recently had a pulley failure and replaced everything with their 5 piece pulley set, belt wrap kit, smaller SC pulley, etc. Wow, what a difference.

Thx Erik.
I'm not terribly interested in performance or appearance Mod's...…...kind of a purist here.
Still looking for those part numbers or bearing replacements.

If you're interested, I have the original stock pulley that you need. I replaced mine last year with the upgraded aluminum billet style for the looks.
The one I have was working fine, I just liked the look of the aftermarket style.
I'll let it go for $50 incl shipping if you're in the USA.
Let me know.
