1998 S70 T5 Serpentine pulleys

Getting some noise from the serpentine belt when engine is cold but goes away after warm up -- sort of a grinding noise. I'll assume it's one of the pulleys? I see an idler pulley and tensioner pulley And it seems to be coming from the idler pulley anyway. Thought I'd order both -- should fix it right? Looks like I don't have to replace the entire tensioner?

Correct. I'd keep the tensioner.
I'd replace the serpentine belt if it has more than 110K miles.

The tricks to replace the pulleys are below:
