I question the mechanic's story. I don't believe that it is possible to dismantle the pulleys for re-greasing, then reassemble them. These sort of components have for decades been made as disposable items.

I have the new aux tensioner and idler pulleys. Is it a complicated task to replace them? .... since it's only the aux pulleys, the special timing tools won't be necessary here, are they?

You won't need the special timing tools. As you've removed the manifold chamber to renew your thermostat I think that you'll be able to tackle the ancillary drive belt. The only awkward task I remember is access to some of the bolts securing the engine mounting bracket to the front plate.

I'll also have to replace the crank pulley by myself too ...

I'm not convinced that this is necessary. It's the diesel crankshaft pulley which disintegrates, the petrol engines don't have this problem. I would leave that alone if I were you.
