e39 a/c belt tensioner

[moots]

i have been having this annoying rattling sound whenever the a/c is switched on from cold and the noise becomes gradually quiet after 1 minute.so this is what i did to get rid of it :

the tensioner pulley assembly and damper removed

where the parts above(tensioner pulley and damper) live

the tensioner pulley assembly

greased the bearing up with heavy duty bearing grease

removed the ori oil and refilled with 10w30.pic with rubber cover off.buttoned everything up and rattling sound gone.smooth and silent ops when a/c buttn pressed.
