Dealer. You can get a break through Ray on OE parts.

Every new pulley it comes with a free bearing.

I had to replace mine due to grooves in the pulley.

Your not going to find just the bearing, it's a special animal. Plus you still need to press it out & in (More $$)

If you can see a number embossed on the seal or etched onto the side of the outer race (like 6203 2RS or similar)...that is the universal bearing number that any decent automotive or bearing shop can get for you. Rarely, a bearing is made to spec's that are "special" and not available except through the OEM dealer. Years ago, many bearings where "fractional" in size and not available through normal channels. Today you will have whole sized bearings like 22X35X10...where a fractional bearing might have been 22X34.5X10...you won't find one of those unless it is still available through the OEM dealer or NOS surplus.

If you have the number, just ask for the bearing in a name brand like SKF, Barden, Timken or NSK...try to stay away from no-name brands. Also, I would get some KYRTOX grease (McMaster-Carr) and remove one seal and regrease the bearings (small pearl between each ball). You will never have to worry about that bearing again.

Like the above says, sometimes it is cheaper/better to purchase the new part than to replace the bearing. A couple of phone calls/internet searches will tell you what you need to know to make your decision. And I can attest to the great service and prices through Ray at Mallory Mazda.

Take the old one to Napa and get a new one.

I bought 2 of them there a couple weeks ago for about for $30.00
