Well, she's been squealin' on me the last couple of days. I knew just what it was. Ol' #2. The price of this thing at the stealer is outrageous! The repair was fairly easy. Although, it did take an interesting combination of sockets and extensions to get those two rear bolts off. The old idler had considerable play in it. Here are a few pics. You can see in the third one how fun the rear bolt removal was. And yes, I know how white trash my driver's side cam pulley/belt clamp is.
Doing it for the first time and my other idler pulley was dis-integrated when I went in to replace the water pump so I thought I would change them both.

Only thing I would do different would be to put a thin piece of wood, plastic, leather, or whatever in there to protect the belt from the plier jaws.
