I had to replace the whole Idler. I believe it isn't a serviceable part. Did the person you spoke to specificly know the rodeo? or just talking in general terms.

Genuine idler is approx $300 or more, aftermarket can be had for about $125

I replaced mine and it was stuff again in just over 12 months. But I guess that is expected running 31x10.5 mudders, winding the torsion bars up, and flipped ball joints.
