Default Serpentine belt

Heard a funny noise on start up of the GC yesterday. Turned off and inspected and found that the serpentine belt had frayed length-wise and stripped 1 or 2 ribs. I've just ordered a replacement and was hoping to get a spare idler pulley just incase but DAMN they're expensive.. $69 was the cheapest I could find in Aus.. So i'm going to change and hope that the pulleys are all in good order..

My question is do belts tend to go on their own or is it generally pulley/bearing related?

Anything else that might help before changing it? I know, like most jobs on the GC, its going to be a pain in the butt.. but anything else that might help would be great to know.

Cheers!
