ive never done this, but from what i understand...there is a tensioner pulley and a tensioner spring, the one i think you are referring to, but i would say to replace both while you are in there...but i would wait for someone else to either confirm my info or tell you the right info.

Yeah, I just replaced mine and replaced the tensioner spring/pully and the WATER PUMP while in there... you will be glad you did if something goes wrong with the wp!

.. how much did that water pump run you?

I think it was around $50 with gasket and core deposit...
