Belt tensioner problem

Well the bearing has once again gone south on my belt tensioner. I checked with my buddy at the dealer and his computer shows that he can only order and entire assembly and his price is over $150! The last time this bearing went bad i was able to get just the roller with a new bearing for dirt cheap. Of course i can't remember where i got it. If someone has a part # for just the roller on the tensioner or knows where i can get just that part, it would be great!

Thanks in advance.
