Question Idler pulley for 79 RX7

I have to replace (or repair if it can be done) the idler pulley that runs from my engine to the AC unit. There is just one belt that runs from the engine to the AC and this pulley provides the adjustment for belt tension. Does anyone know where I can fid a repl;acement, or is there any way that it can be repaired. The problem is that there is to much play on the shaft that holds the pullet, so the pulley slides up and down the length of the shaft.

I'd appreciate any suggestions

Thanks

Ed

I haven't pulled it yet, but I assume from the screeching that it's making, that the bearings are toast
