Fixed squealing noise from belt/pulley, 3/16/14, 125.7K

Belt / Pulley area was making squealing noise.
I replaced idler and tensioner pulley a week ago.   The old one doesn't seems to bad.   Squealing noise reduced but not gone completely.




Bought tensioner and belt for both ac and accessories.
When I pulled the ac belt I noticed the belt cracked and the pulley was bad (make chattering noise and spins freely).  So I decided to just replace both belt and put replace ac pulley with old accessories pulley.  That seems to fix it.  No more squealing noise.
