bearing brand does not matter much, however FAG are considered better
and SKF is better than most, but perhaps not quite up there with FAG. I
got FAG for the tensioner because they were available for pretty much
the same price, and it seems to be a fairly high failure rate at 150 to
250k miles.
For the belt tensioner, You can substitute 2 bearings for the original.
6004-2RS with a 3mm spacer in between. I sliced off about 3.5 mm from
the old bearing outer race, then faced it to under 3mm with a cutoff
wheel on a cheap HF 4" grinder. I posted the OE double row bearing
number, but I don't remember it now. I could not find a bearing for
sale in the USA or in .DE websites, so I mark it as unobtainium.

Well, the problem was the carrier bearing mount for sure. It was torn
up and rotten. The carrier bearing was an SKF 6006-2RS and is in good
condition. I put on the new FAG and saved the skf.
A few weeks ago, you posted another bearing number, which I neglected to
add to my list of W124 part numbers. Do you remember what it was?
