Replacng a Bad Pulley
Hey all:
I have a pulley (at least I am 90% sure it is) that is going bad. When idling, it is barely noticeable. When under load, and at about 2,000rpm, it is quite obnoxious.... I used a stethoscope and believe I have it narrowed down to the AC pump pulley. My question is if I have to replace the entire pump, or if I can just replace the pulley? I did a little google search, but have not come up with great info yet. I am hoping someone here has dealt with this and will know.
Thanks!

Yes, I can turn it on, and no, it does not stop. It might have actually become a little more noticeable at idle. You really have to listen closely to hear it at idle. The main problem is when I am accelerating at around 2,000rpm. It is a loud squeal/chirp (not sure how to describe it precisely). It stops the instant I let off of the gas.

you may need a alternator decoupler pulley. it needs special tools to change it out. gates #91024. it free wheels at idle and engages as you throttle up.
