Default 2000 zx2 tensioner pulley broke off at arm help

Hello
Im in need of some help. On my 2000 zx2 the belt tensioner pulley broke off at 2 places. 1st was at a bolt hole on the pulley itself, The 2nd one concerns me, it broke off at a arm of some sort near the water pump. Can this be fixed? Where can i get the part?
Thanks

I attached a photo

Check with your local auto supply store. Give them your year,make , model,engine size , w/wo A/C, and ask if they have a belt tensioner assy in stock. Then go and see if it is the same as what you show in the pix. Usually easy to replace.

Thanks for getting back. Did you have to pull the engine to replace the housing?

No didnt have to pull engine. I just removed the 1 top mount next to the belt for more access and placed a floor jack under oil pan to help support engine. Here's the part on ebay Part #: F8CZ8505TG Got mine used for 45.00 .if your gonna do it make sure you get the F8RZ-8507-CA gasket and the O ring K31792 Water Pump Gasket http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-WATER-PUMP-HOUSING-TENSIONER-2000-3-FOCUS-1998-99-TRACER-1998-03-ESCORT-/231071323630?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &hash=item35ccec95ee&vxp=mtr
