Default Squealing Pulley. How to fix?

I thought my belt was squealing today but when I popped the hood I thought it was coming from the pulley mounted on the top of the enigne the farthest over on the passenger side. I sprayed some WD-40 on it and it stopped, but I guess it wore off. Does anyone know how to fix this? TIA

I believe that there is a TSB on the tensioner replacement.

Could be a noisy belt. That was the problem I had. The WD40 that you spayed on the tensioner might have made it to the belt and silenced the noisy belt. I'd try a new serpentine belt; it's always nice to carry the old ond around for a spare...

Does anyone have a link to that TSB or does this mean I have to go to the dealer :mad I wonder how much this (probably a part made from $5 worth of plastic) is going to cost me.
