Well there is no extra labor as the thing is out already and I think the part runs about another $100.00 or so. Myself I do not replace them unless they show signs of leakage. That is pretty rare on the first interval and by the time they are 140,000 or so I see about 1/2 of them needing them. I see idler bearings going out just as much if not more than the tensioners leaking or failing. You usually hear the idlers squealing in the morning when it is cold.
