Belt tensioner Pulley

I've heard rumors that it's impossible to buy the pulley for the tensioner separately!
Surely that can't be true!!
IS there no equivalent part or bearing replacement or anything?!

Thanks!

l need to double check but l am sure l have one in my parts bin. Bought it to fit a few years ago but then replaced bearings in the old one instead.

Oh thanks Baxtor, if you could find a part number or something that would be great!

Either a Gates #38028 or Dayco #89016 will work fine for both tensioner and idler pulleys.

Note the bolt securing the pulley to the tensioner arm is a left-hand thread.
