Removal / refitting the front serpentine belt tensioner

Has anyone removed the belt tensioner at the front of the engine - the one that keeps the alternator/aircon aux belt tight? I'm fairly sure the bearing is on it's way out due to a loud screaching noise at 1500+ rpm, so I want to take it off for a closer look. Also, at what interval should that belt be replaced?

If theres anything missing let me know ..just sent the whole section ..so it should cover most .

Squirt a bit of wd40 on each bearing wheel at a time and see if the noise reduces ...that may give you some indication as to which it will be

Many thanks. I'll take a look at it in the morning, assuming it survives the 85 mile drive home after this night shift
