Hey Guys, this is my first post hope you's can help.

I was just wondering if you can buy aftermarket bearing for the serpintine belt pulleys on the 1GR-FE engine, I was told that toyota had a patent on the bearing and no aftermarket company was producing them, hope this isn't true as the genuine bearing/pulleys cost an arm and a leg. Any help would be great Thanks

Most of the original pulleys for most makes are made by Daiken in Japan.

Maybe that's a lead for you?

I think Justo found some after market bearings for this. It was a while ago though .

I couldnt source these bearings (couldnt get one with the right I.D) a year ago for my idler pulleys so I ended up making a spacer myself and so did a few other PPs.

CBC bearings in Perth (Malaga) said they were in the process of making the whole pulley for the 120series like they have done for many other makes.
