Default automatic tensioner for 2002 dodge neon

hullo guys

having some trouble with my 2002 dodge neon se..
so the other day, my powersteering went out... i tried replacing the belt and they wouldn't stay on. I reached down and found that the idler pulley on the tensioner was broken. Is it possible to replace just the pulley.. or just the tensioner, rather than replacing the entire mounting bracket as well? any help is greatly appreciated!

yea you can just replace the pulley. any local auto parts store should have it for around 20 bucks

not really. you to take the tensioner off regardless. its a tight fit on that side of the motor, so a 1/4" drive ratchet and a deep well socket will come in handy
