after greasing the original pulleys, the ac tensioner pulley didn't have the dry sound but instead had some weird clicking noises when engine first started then was generally noisy for the rest of the week. replaced them both with new autozone pulleys and everything is good now.
When you popped the seals out and regreased the bearing you may have ever so slightly damaged the seal. When you put it back in, it may have been making contact with the ***** in the bearing and caused the clicking. That is why I don't usually bother with it.
