I have an intermittent squeal coming from the front of my engine and the local bikeshop thinks its one or both of the timing belt tensioners. He suggests fitting new ones. I'm not a cheapo owner but I'm curious if putting new bearings in the pulleys will stop the squealing, or if this can be done (I can get bearings quite cheap). Any input appreciated.
