The TB service interval on newer Subarus is 105k, and we don't recommend trying to stretch that out longer. It is very rare to find an intact stock belt at 130k. We also strongly recommend all the idlers and tensioner be replaced along with the timing belt.

I have the pulley in question and it should spin with ease, but I had to use vise grips to get it to turn(barley). I am sure glad I didn`t wait any longer.
