Hello guys,
just to follow up on my repair, Porsche received my parts friday morning so after work i was able to reassemble my brand new upper, lower and tensionner rollers successfully along with the new belt. My car seems to be 100% back to normal, tested today with some savage 3rd and 4th gear highway entries :P
here is the video of the first startup after repair where you can easily see the new parts and hear the pure Porsche powerful sound

I think that it is not wrong to replace the bearings but the roller themselves require serious inspection and you never know what previous owners could have done like i found out on my car!!! If you decide to replace the bearings, make sure that you never apply strain on the outer ring of the roller while removing or pressing the bearings in them. And always put the new bearings in the freezer prior to insertion.
In the end, they are not too expensive parts even at the dealer and they are so important to be right as this belt operates absolutely everything crucial. I bought peace of mind. It was also a very pleasant job to perform in the end.
