one of my pulleys is messed up okay so i thought my alternator bearing had seized up because i started it up the other day and the belt started squealing and smoking white smoke. One of my pulleys isnt turning. My belt tensioner alternator pulley and a/c pulley spin freely but the bottom left one doesnt spin at all, anyone know how to get this off?

Your ac clutch may have fried causing this condition. I haven't heard of the power steering pulley freezing but I'm sure if the pump ran dry it could happen as well...Take a pic and circle it in read so we can let you know.

okay, so how do i get the pulley off? I took off the 3 13mm bolts that hold the housing on, but i cant get it to come off, anyone know what else i need to do? Do i need to get a special tool to take it off?
