2004 citroen xsara picasso 1.8i - picasso with a knocking noise behind the cam belt - Lee P

i have a knocking noise in the cam belt cover of my 1.8i 2004 citroen xsara picasso. when i took the cover off i discovered what seems to be a free spinning wheel within the top rear pulley with very worn rubber pads in the center of it, making it wobble as it spins and cause the knocking. does anyone know what this wheel does and can i replace it without any need to take the cam belt and pulley off?
