Get this Altus rear derailleur (assuming I correctly counted you have an 8 speed cassette). $21 shipped. Big pulley and jockey wheels are great, it’s a small upgrade from your current model.
Here’s a rear derailleur removal and install video:

Thanks, WildMan. I've found the same M310 Altus you've linked to, but it has DL at the end?

Would this be my best option? I'll order those then.
You just need a new derailleur. Basically anything will work, but you can get this guy for $20, you after you swap it over (sort of complicated, but doable with little knowledge), you'll be rolling.
