Where did you get the adjuster pulley from and how much did you pay? I have been quoted $48.00 - $52.00 from Repco. In removing same, is it left thread?

Normally the bolt is treaded so it tightens the same way that the belt turns the pulley when running. Have not had to replace that one yet but have replaced three of the tension pulleys in the same week which were right hand thread ( all different XJ's ).
