Question AC pulley noise!!!!!

It's squealing pretty bad every time the clutch engages the compressor. Is there any way to tell if it is the AC pulley or the tensoner pulley? I need to fix this; it's driving me nuts!

Already changed it, but that didn't fix the noise. It needed to be replaced anyway.

Mine was doing this...

The squeal was comming from the tensioner pulley bearing. Try spraying some lube into the pulley (try not to hit the belt) as it is turning. If it gets quiet for a short period of time and then bad again...thats what your problem is!
