You can replace the bearing to save the most money. You will need to buy the bearings and use a bearing puller. But if you want to replace the idle pulleys, there are three in total. Use the guide from pelicans.

If you want to replace the bearing only, Ben Burner on Youtube has an excellent video on how to do it. To find the model # to replace the bearing, you should take out the idle pulleys to confirm the right part.
