Has anyone managed to change the bearing in the fanbelt tensioner
assembly rather than replacing the whole thing?
It seems to be a 6203 LF (NTW) bearing.

Nope, but as long as their is access to the bearing it ought to be
possible-you mention a generic bearing code- you may need to freeze or heat
the assembly to allow the old to drop out / new to drop in. - unless their
are circlips..

Thanks. There seems to be just a Torx bolt holding the bearing but
I'm reluctant to open everything up until I'm sure it can be done and
I have the replacement bearing.
