Default ac tensioner pulley

My ac tensioner pulley is squeaking like a bi*ch and I can't seem to find any place that sells the pulley alone. Dealerships and autozone only sell the entire assembly for $70+. Where can I get the pulley alone?

if its squeaking, the tensioner itself is probably broken and thus your going to need that whole assembly....

Try Car Quest. The one near me will sell it with or without the whole assembly, and with the assembly it was about $55.

I just ordered both pulleys for my car. They did not solve the problem I was having but here are the P/Ns anyways.

12557334 is the tensioner pulley
12557335 is the idler pulley.

They both come with bolts and are super easy to install.

I think I may need a tensioner though. Anyone know how to tell for sure if the tensioner needs replacing? I put my steathascope with open ended tube on all the bolts and it is definately noisy near the tensioner but nothing like a typical bad pulley sounds like.
