Cam belt tensioners

Has anyone had experience of aftermarket cam belt tensioners?
I just changed the belts on mine, and one movable tensioner was seized solid, don't know how long it had been like this, but the belt wasn't too bad, it had just gone all polished and shiny on the rear of it! (and that is after three years and about 15,000 miles since last change).
I couldn't get the bearing off the housing, so I thought, don't bugger about, change the lot.
As the bearings wont come off the holder, I need the housed bearings which look to be a single double-width bearing now, not the double-single bearings as fitted to my bike. Ebay lists kits from Germany around the £180 - £200 mark for the two movable and the two fixed bearings delivered, but they are aftermarket bearings.
Has anyone DIY'd the bearing change, or does everyone just get Luigi to do it!!
