Anybody had to change a squeeky Accessory Belt Tensioner Pulley/Roller; Tension Roller for AC Belt? If so are there any hidden challenges?

Oh boy... This was the only time my car broke down. Please be careful with this fix as I was very fortunate to find a bracket at a Junkyard.

I have changed it, the two things I recall are that it is expensive and it is dead simple to get out and replace. A little very mild strength thread locker can save future headaches.
