Don't remove the belt to diagnose worn pulley bearings.Stethoscope
Pullies -They are cheap/generic - do them all ?
Check the w/p bearing for weepage , run-out/noise. If in doubt replace w/p ?
The tensioner can be a problem - the bolt head on the back of it just spins sometimes.
Carry the old belt as a spare
Be aware some premium(Gates)new belts are stiffer than the OEM Conti.That may make them difficult to install
