If they're oly just starting to squeal, you can remove them, prise out the plactic covers (without damaging them, clean thoroughly and regrease. I did mine about 20,000kms ago and they're still sweet.

Do a search on odler bearings and should find some instructions and a few pictures.

They are two different sizes on the Td5 and one of them is rivited into the pulley so is a PITA if you have to actually replace it, so I'd suggest that you get to them ASAP.

i replace the bearing in mine the othere week.. don't know the part number but the guys at LRA in thomastown new it and had it in stock... I replaced the rivets with pan head screws and nylocs i think. Replaceing the idler solved my altinator problems!!!
