Hi, I cannot seem to find the individual P/N for the tensioner pulley on the 5th gen. I can only find the belt tensioner assembly that includes with the pulley under P/N 16620-31051. Can this pulley be purchased separately? Thanks.

Edit: I found this on Amazon, says it's manufactured by Febest. Other forums say to stay away from this brand:

$32 16620-31051 / 1662031051 - Pulley Idler For Toyota
Amazon.com: 16620-31051 / 1662031051 - Pulley Idler For Toyota: Automotive

Any other suitable substitute?

There isn't one for sale. I bought the whole assembly and just replaced the pulley while saving rest of tensioner for future just in case. I could probably use regular idler pulley for that since it looks similar but didn't want to take any chances. Remember Tensioner pulley bolt is opposite tread (right to remove, left to tighten).

Stay away from anything Amazon, buy the OEM part and cry once. You don’t want to come back here to start a post about noise/vibration after replacing it.

Yes, I would never knowingly buy a no-name Amazon part. Was hoping there would be a substitute by Koyo or Nachi pulley that can be used.
