I broke the bolt / stud that runs through the middle of the idler for the A/C compressor. I can only seem to find a part number for the idler assembly. Can the stud be had separately? The assembly part number is 8844026090.

No it would be the one that actually holds the pulley. The one that clamps the pulley in place once tension is set.
Your local Toyota dealer parts professional can order a new pulley
which comes with the the mounting hardware (88440-26090).
The sealed bearing of the pulley as well as the V groove itself can wear with high miles, so replacing the whole assembly is not a bad idea IMHO.

Darn, that’s what I was afraid of. The pulley was only a year old so the bearing is practically new. Didn’t see any cheap ones from the local parts stores I could take the stud from either. I guess I’ll order another assembly and keep this pulley and bearing as a spare.
Why would anyone ever buy that Chi-com when the Japanese part is less than that?

I like Toyota...but they're not the only game in town.
High quality non-Toyota parts are out there too.Blasphemy....I know, but the truth.
Cost? Let the smart shopper look around and decide for themselves. Mighty hard to beat OEM quality though.

One thing I do in these situations is I cross reference the part number to see if any other models used the same part and check the local salvage yards. I'm not sure this will work in this case, but it might.
