Default Where to find a/c idler pulley?

I can't seem to find the a/c idler pulley anywhere. Most places don't even have a listing for it. Does anyone have a part number or a suggestion on where I can find one? I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to call the dealer at this point but it seems like they would stock this pulley somewhere locally. Any help would be awesome. Thanks

From my experience no one carries them except dealerships, everyone carries the tentioner pulley but not the Idler. I found a great one on here from a member for $20 at the dealerships they go for $60.

i used a breaker bar on the end of a 3/8" ratchet with the torx bit to get it off. i'd love to know what the advance auto part is so I can go rub it in their face. let me know if you can come up with it.

the two ac pulleys, the idler and the tensioner, are exactly the same.
