Default Help - what is this part called?

The round pulley next to the water pump, what's it called? I need either a new one or replacement bearings. Do I get a whole new one from the parts store or is this gonna be a dealership item/junk yard adventure?

Idler pulley?? And will I need any special tools to get it off or should it just slide off with a little work?

No special tools needed. Just a 1/2 inch wrench I believe

Idler pulley - you can get one at any parts store.

When they start going bad they sound like a puppy whining really loudly.

They're like a $10 part.
