The defender is still in the shed does the pulley come off the tension-er ,and can i put a bearing in it -i9m pretty sure it does but it seems pretty tight id hate to break it during this preriod of global close down over xmas

Yes the pulley does come off the tensioner. It is a left hand thread bolt, so move the bolt clockwise to undo it. The bearing can be replaced, it is a 6203 bearing from memory.
