I forget which brand I used... top tier for sure... and hi-temp.

Remove the pulley and on the reverse is a round seal... plastic. Easy to remove. Clean out the existing grease (I used carb cleaner) and then pack in as much as will fit. Return the seal... reinstall the pulley. A little messy... slightly time consuming... but a nice preventive maintenance.

The tensioner pulley is just a little more challenging for there is a nut that needs to be removed... and it sits behind a little shroud. You'll see it when you get in there. Take your time... don't strip the nut.

Good luck with all the projects. You'll have a nice baseline upon which you can schedule future preventive maintenance. Also... peace of mind.
