The bearing in the tensioner (acc ribbed belt) is stuffed.
I can get the bearing to replace from the local bearing shop, but is there any way of removing the bearing from the plastic pulley?
Toyota don't list the pulley as a separate part and want $322 for the tensioner assembly.
Any sugguestions?

You can't R&R the bearing in the plastic pulleys without stuffing the plastic hub.
Some 1Js came with steel pulleys which can be pressed out/in but you lucked out.
Ring Nial at Bond Autotech in Botany - he has sourced alternative replacement pulleys for a fraction of the price of new assemblies from Toyota.

Failing that, just get one made in metal. Bearing itself is $5.

if you are talking about the tensioner that is like a swinging arm with a pulley on the end, I have a spare for sale if you want that? I have never actually used it as I only use alternator and water pump so I don't require it. PM me if interested.
later

Similar, but different
They are a smaller diameter wheel, but the bearing shaft could be the same size.
FWIW, I'd be using the metal substitute if it was my 1JZ.

Guys,
I think I may have a suitable replacement, mate works at Repco, took the plastic pulley, measured it the searched through the replacement idler pulley catalogue.
Toyota plastic pulley & bearing
OD 96mm
ID 17mm (bearing)
width 26mm
Ford Windsor 5lt Part No EP060
OD 100mm
ID 17mm
width 30mm
Took it home for a trail fit. Fits offset is enough fo the pulley to clear the arm that it sits on, and have 1-2mm between belt an engine side of pulley.
Its also metal so if the bearing craps itself its only a $7.50 for relacement bearing.
Off course I haven't been able to run the engine and I don't have all the accessories bolted on so I have completely comfirmed all clearance issue. will update in a few weeks.
